Going beyond the issues of analyzing and optimizing programs as well as creating the means of protecting information, this guide takes on the programming problem of how to go about disassembling a program with holes without its source code. Detailing hacking methods used to analyze programs using a debugger and disassembler such as virtual functions, local and global variables, branching, loops, objects and their hierarchy, and mathematical operators, this guide covers methods of fighting disassemblers, self-modifying code in operating systems, and executing code in the stack. Advanced disassembler topics such as optimizing compilers and movable code are discussed as well, and a CD-ROM that contains illustrations and the source codes for the programs is also included.

Free Hacker Disassembling Uncovered
I read the 2nd edition of this book, so I will be referring to it.
First of all, let me tell you that is a VERY GOOD introduction to Reverse Engineering. If you are a beginner, you will get tons of useful and updated information from this book. For sure you will learn, and let me tell you that the info in this book is worth every penny. You will get hands-on experience not only on rev-eng, but also a very good idea about all the software around it. When you are new to the reverse-engineering world, it is very difficult to get started because of the amount of information on the net. Too much is sometimes less because you end up in circles from tutorial to tutorial, without making good bases.
If you follow this book from cover to cover, you will "get it". You will learn. You will know how to debug/disassemble a program and patch it to alter the way it behaves.
Warning: if you are a TOTAL beginner (who does not know any programming language at all) this book is not for you. Kris assumes that you know at least a bit of C. He won't get into the details of what a pointer is. You should know that if you want to do reversing. If you don't, learn a bit of C first, and then come back to this book.
So, it's important to judge the book by what it is. It's not an introduction to computers or programming. It is a VERY GOOD introduction to Reverse Engineering. Having said that, let's start!
Pros --> Easy to follow, full of useful and updated [2008] information. You will really learn a lot from it if you don't know how to use debuggers/disassemblers. You will learn a bit IDA, OllyDBG, Hiew, and more than a bit of Soft-ICE. Also, you will learn how to get started with API monitors, profilers, etc.
