Summary

The tools discussed in this chapter are not necessarily the best of their breed. They do, however, represent tools commonly available for anyone who wishes to reverse engineer binary files. More important, they represent the types of tools that motivated much of the development of IDA. In the coming chapters, we will discuss such tools. An awareness of these tools will greatly enhance your understanding of the IDA user interface and the many informational displays that IDA offers.
