Feel free to translate them to other languages, except Russian, please! Just ask me, I will prepare Russian version by myself.

Some of my other writings are: "Reverse Engineering for Beginners" free book, https://yurichev.com/writings/.

All reverse engineering exercises are moved to separate website: https://challenges.re/.

There are also some random notes at GitHub.
