Reactive Publishing Assembly Language Demystified: A Modern Guide to x86 and ARM in 2025
By Takehiro Kanegi
Step beyond high-level abstractions and dive into the core of computing.
Assembly Language Demystified is your essential guide to understanding the low-level architecture that powers modern software and hardware. Whether you're building security tools, optimizing game engines, exploring embedded systems, or simply aiming to grasp how code truly interacts with the machine, this book equips you with the skills to read, write, and dissect assembly for both x86 and ARM architectures.
Inside you’ll learn:
Core instruction sets and how they differ across platforms
How modern compilers translate high-level code into machine instructions
Debugging and disassembling real-world binaries
Writing performance-critical functions in assembly
Reverse engineering techniques and low-level security concepts
How ARM powers the modern mobile ecosystem—and why it matters
The future of RISC-V and what to expect after 2025
With hands-on examples, annotated dissections, and exercises rooted in real-world use cases, this book delivers a powerful combination of theory and practice.
Whether you're an aspiring reverse engineer, systems programmer, or curious developer, this is your map to the machine.
