Having not much else to do today, I decided to post some pictures to show what it's really like to be reverse engineering Outpost 2.
I use IDA Pro for a disassembler (program that converts the binary instructions and data to assembly mnemonics. It's nothing like C++ or anything, these are the low level instructions that the intel x86 series of processors use).
IDA makes it easier for me since it's able to identify machine code versions of functions like sprintf() for example that you use a lot from C or C++. This makes it a lot easier.
It can also tell me cross references between two pieces of code and allows me to label a lot of things.
Just figured I would give people a peek and see what it's like to be doing this
