Build a strong foundation in computer engineering concepts and get hands-on with essential reverse engineering tools like Ghidra. Learn how computers work at the hardware and software levels, and prepare your environment for advanced analysis.
This course introduces the core principles of computer engineering, including arithmetic, Boolean algebra, electronics, and logic circuits. You will explore how computers process information, understand the basics of low-level computing, and gain familiarity with industry-standard tools such as Ghidra. By the end of the course, you will be equipped with the foundational knowledge and practical skills needed to begin analyzing and understanding binary software. Through clear video demonstrations and structured readings, you will progress from fundamental concepts to practical tool usage. Quizzes reinforce your understanding as you move from theory to real-world application. This course is part one of a three-course Specialization designed to build a complete and cohesive understanding of the subject. While it offers valuable skills on its own, you'll gain the most benefit by progressing through all three courses as a structured learning journey.
