System Programming Roadmap

A roadmap to teach myself compiler de reverse engineering and kernel de. To be noted they are only for the fundamental knowledge and doesn't make you a master of any. I will pick one or more of the below mentioned fields for later research in some specific topics. Low Le Uni also has a good list of resources to follow but this is my personal roadmap.

Topics to study here may or may not be in order and can be studied according to your preference, gievn that prerequisites are getting fulfilled for each one of them.

Prerequisites

I'm already assuming that you ha understanding of computer architecture and experience with atleast one system programming language, some basics of how assembly works and familiar using any POSIX system. A good detailed look of how computers work at the electronics level can be found in the book Introduction to Digital Electronics by Agner Fog. And for the software equi work you can refer to cpu.land.

System Programming Languages

Learn any two of the gi, make some basic projects to get yourself familiar with it, solve some programming exercises.

C

Rust

Learn C++, C++ reference

C++ (video)

Learn some Computer Architecture

Learn Arm and RISC computer architecture to build an efficient and optimized approach towards solving the problems at hardware level

David A. Patterson, John L. Hennessy "Computer Architecture: A Quantitati".pdf)

David A. Patterson, John L. Hennessy "Computer Organization and Design ARM Edition"

David A. Patterson, John L. Hennessy "Computer Organization and Design RISC-"

John Paul Shen, Mikko H. Lipasti "Modern Processor Design: Fundamentals of Superscalar Processors"

Jon Stokes "Inside the Machine"

CMU Computer Architecture by CMU Youtube

Learn some Assembly

Prerequisites: Learn about Digital Logic

If you are not familiar with assembly yet, I would recommend checking out some tutorials like-

[x86 quickstart[MASM]]()

[x86 quickstart [NASM]]()

[ASM Tutor[NASM]]()

Introduction to x86 assembly language by Davy on youtube

OMU x86_64 lessons

The Art Of Asm

Intel x64 manuals

Compiler Explorer: Making C programs and reading the disassembly always helps to match patterns.

Article by 0x44 re for dummies to be able to reverse basic crackmes.

After this, I would recommend solving easy crackmes for exercise. crackmes.one and tryhackme are places to find some of the easy ones. Hard ones still require some pwning knowledge which I'm gona discuss in the exploitation section.

Compilers

Prerequisites include experience creating projects in a system programming language and a deep understanding of memory and CPU.

Read the Dragon Book.

Crafting Interpreters is a good one for beginners.

Language Implementation Patterns provides some good insights on the workings of compilers.

Stanford Notes CS143 Good assignments and notes related to compiler design.

CMU slides and Projects

Awesome Compilers

Make a Language in Rust

Rust Parsing Basics

Make a tree walk interpreted programming language.

Also try to implement a bytecode engine for your interpreter, try out some optimizations and GC.

You can also emulate machines like Chip8 or Nes.

- Emulation requires knowledge of and graphics programming.
- You can use SDL as an IO/graphics/sound engine.

Try to make a compiled programming language targetting one architecture.

Learn about the LL

LL in Rust

Try to follow the ll to make your first programming language using ll.

Try to make a Just In Time Compiler around the bytecode engine, detect hot regions and JIT them.

Exploitation

Prerequisites include experience with assembly.

ike: Systems Hacking Handbook

pwn.college is the best learning resource I got so far for exploitation. From assembly to kernel exploitation, it covers it all.

Introduction to exploit de

Nightmare: Intro to binary exploitation based around CTFs.

CS6265: Reverse Engineering and Binary Exploitation Lab

OMU exploitation labs

Li's binexp series on youtube

Tutorial by 0xinfection

Exploit dev on the infosec reference

ROP Emporium

Windows Stuff

- Windows x64 re
- Win32 API programming
- Windows exploit dev
- Cazz's Youtube channel
- Game hacking academy

After learning about some exploitation, you can solve CTFs now. Some of them include:

- pwnable.kr
- Exploit Education VMs
- O wargames co exploitation
- HackTheBox challenges based on binary exploitation

Browser Hacking

Prerequisites include high le of , and solid understanding and experience with Compiler Engineering

De

- Create a basic html dom parser Rust
- Toy browser engine, Browser engine from scratch
- Ja bytecode Kling
- Browser Parsing & JS AST Andreas Kling
- Inside look at modern browser
- Blogs to follow: V8, MozHacks, Webkit
- Docs: Firefox, Chromium, Webkit Wiki
- Compiler Compiler: A Twitch series about working on a Ja engine
- Graphics: Choose a 2d graphics lib for your language or platform.
You can surely use OpenGL or ?!? to render your innocent CSS but trust me it is not worth it.
- Skia is a good one for Linux and android (chrome uses it on Android)
- Direct2D yeah windows only.
- Cairo and Blend2D These are cross platform, worth looking into.
- High-performance gc for V8
- Ad in JIT compilation
- Speculation in Ja
- Network Programming Rust Networking, Rust std::net, C
- After learning about parsing, rendering, and JIT, you can now make your own browser with basic APIs and minimal features, following the whatwg standards

Exploitation: A great way to understand how a browser works is to try to hack it: (prerequisites include solid binary exploitation skills)

- Browser Exploition series by Li | Written
- Web Assembly Hacking talk Black Hat
- Browser pwn on github
- Web Browser Exploitation- Uni of Florida
- Go through writeups of CVEs or CTF challenges based on browsers or runtime envs.

Malware

Prerequisites include a high-le of windows and solid reverse engineering skills.

Practical Malware Analysis

Malware analysis bootcamp by hackersploit

CS5138 Malware Analysis, UC

Sliver C2 tutorial

Prelude's li

Cr0w's Youtube Channel

After learning the basics of malware re and behavior, you can now move to reverse some real samples of those.

OS Fundamentals

I'm not quite sure that I want to get into kernel de (yet) but the concepts seem cool and its a good idea for a project. Make sure to read the requirements before getting started.

OS Dev Wiki is the go-to place if you want to learn about OS. It's well documented and also helps eyes to bleed.
