Hello and welcome.

2
00:03.290 --> 00:10.970
In this lecture, I am going to tell you about how to set up your computer for doing reverse

3
00:10.970 --> 00:11.870
engineering.

4
00:12.530 --> 00:14.780
Always use a virtual machine.

5
00:14.780 --> 00:21.410
For example, I'm using Oracle VirtualBox and inside here I created a Windows 10 virtual machine.

6
00:21.740 --> 00:25.370
So if you don't know how to create a virtual machine, you can Google for it.

7
00:25.370 --> 00:28.640
There are plenty of YouTube videos which will guide you.

8
00:29.180 --> 00:34.520
So after you created a virtual machine, the first step is always to create snapshots like this.

9
00:34.520 --> 00:38.570
So just click on "Take" here and then give a name to the snapshot and click "OK."

10
00:39.530 --> 00:45.260
So after you have created the snapshot, then you are ready to start reverse engineering.

11
00:45.650 --> 00:51.680
Every time you do some reverse engineering, when you finished, you always go back and restore the snapshot.

12
00:51.950 --> 00:53.090
So you will click—

13
00:53.090 --> 00:59.150
You click on any of these restore points here and then click "Restore." For example, this or whatever

14
00:59.150 --> 01:01.010
you want, and you click on "Restore."

15
01:01.580 --> 01:08.510
So the restore will undo any changes that have been made by any of the programs that you have run while

16
01:08.510 --> 01:09.290
reversing.

17
01:10.130 --> 01:17.210
So after you have done that, the next thing you want to do is to go and install x64dbg.

18
01:18.170 --> 01:21.110
So x64dbg you can go and download.

19
01:21.110 --> 01:27.530
So I'm now going to go into full screen and I'm going to open a browser.

20
01:34.840 --> 01:38.410
And then here I search for "download x64dbg."

21
01:44.010 --> 01:52.170
They are popularly known as x64dbg, although it can also run 32-bit programs.

22
01:52.830 --> 01:55.050
So that's the one. Click on "Download."

23
01:58.680 --> 02:01.800
Then you go and download whatever is the latest version.

24
02:01.860 --> 02:05.370
So as of today, the latest version is 2022,

25
02:05.400 --> 02:06.300
October 28th.

26
02:06.300 --> 02:08.190
So I'm going to click on this.

27
02:19.460 --> 02:23.300
And now it has begun, as you can see on the bottom left-hand corner.

28
02:25.810 --> 02:27.760
Once it has finished downloading,

29
02:27.910 --> 02:32.050
click on "Show in folder" and then unzip it.

30
02:32.080 --> 02:36.970
Once it has finished downloading, you can see it in the Downloads folder, so you can unzip it now

31
02:37.360 --> 02:41.080
and then rename it to "x64dbg."

32
02:44.140 --> 02:47.170
Inside it, you will see there are a few folders.

33
02:47.170 --> 02:57.130
So now you are going to cut this x64dbg and put it in your C Program Files directory, which is over here: C Program Files.

34
02:57.550 --> 03:00.670
You can put it in x86 or you can put it in Program Files.

35
03:00.670 --> 03:01.420
It doesn't matter.

36
03:01.420 --> 03:02.470
Anyone will do.

37
03:03.310 --> 03:04.840
So you're going to dump it here.

38
03:04.840 --> 03:06.370
Right-click and paste.

39
03:08.000 --> 03:08.300
OK.

40
03:08.300 --> 03:09.140
Continue.

41
03:09.530 --> 03:10.700
And you have it there.

42
03:10.850 --> 03:12.860
So now we are going to install it.

43
03:12.980 --> 03:20.330
So open this folder and look for "Release" and look for "x96dbg."

44
03:20.660 --> 03:23.060
So x96dbg is the installer.

45
03:23.060 --> 03:24.380
So just double-click on it.

46
03:25.850 --> 03:28.760
"Do you want to register a static shell extension?"

47
03:28.790 --> 03:30.020
Click on "Yes."

48
03:30.560 --> 03:32.330
"Do you want to create desktop shortcuts?"

49
03:32.360 --> 03:33.470
Click on "Yes."

50
03:33.770 --> 03:35.780
"Do you want to register the database icon?"

51
03:35.780 --> 03:36.770
Click on "Yes."

52
03:38.390 --> 03:39.680
Now click on "OK."

53
03:39.680 --> 03:42.620
And now if you go to the desktop, close this.

54
03:43.160 --> 03:48.410
You should be able to see two new icons: x32dbg and x64dbg.

55
03:48.710 --> 03:50.120
You are now ready to use it.
