In hacker lore, heavy wizardry means code so close to the metal it feels
like magiccrafted by those who truly understand how the machine works.
Heavy Wizardry 101 is your apprenticeship in that art. Youll start with the
foundationscomputer architecture, memory, and the stackbefore progressing
to real-world programs: shellcode, backdoors, droppers, and worms (all
built and tested in safe, contained environments). Each chapter provides
complete, working code for four major architectures: x86_64, ARM, MIPS, and
RISC-V, revealing the similarities and differences between them. Youll
learn how to: Follow code from human-readable C down to raw assembly and
opcodes Adapt tools across architectures for maximum portability Strip away
compiler overhead to write smaller, faster binaries Work confidently
without relying on fragile, cutting-edge tools that can quickly become
obsolete or change with new versions Whether youre an aspiring hacker, a
security researcher, or a systems programmer, this book will give you the
knowledge to not just run tools, but create them and understand exactly how
and why they work.
