The Basics of Analyzing and Creating Structures in IDA Pro - Part 1

In this video, part of a 3 video series, we&look at what a basic structure is, discuss how it uses memory and use a sample program to create a compiled binary for reverse engineering. We&then use IDA Pro to analyze the code and identify signs of structure usage. This video will cover the use of dynamically allocated memory used for this structure. We&also cover structure analysis using IDA&decompiler. Finally, we&create a custom structure and discuss how to apply this structure to the disassembled and decompiled code.
