As others have said it's mostly the desire to learn. A lot of the brightest reverse engineering I have met started off hacking video games. They started with a desire to either understand the game or create cheats. From there they dug into the code. Reverse engineering has a very romantic view from the outside. In actuality a lot of it is learning esoteric topics and boring concepts to be able to apply it to a single task. It takes a certain mindset to stick with it. The main pre-requisite is being able to read and understand assembly language. From there it's operating system fundamentals, memory layout, compilers, basic understanding C & C++ and Python is popular in the RE community. The RE sub-reddit has a good introduction for beginners. https://www.reddit.com/r/ReverseEngineering/comments/hg0fx/a... |
