Finally, studentsimplemented and tested their own additional modifications. Most students do not have previous experience with reverse engineering binary executables,so the first step is an exploration of the different tools available for reverse engineering software.A preliminary search reveals both IDA (particularly IDA Pro) and BinaryNinja as the most usedplatforms.

As a result, it took more number of trials for the iterative process to converge. This was pointed out when the tests were returned to students.• For Problem #4, the results were “Fair”; there were 29 questions and one-third of students did not manage the time properly.
