Summary

The key takeaways from this session are:

• Assembly is a human-readable representation of instructions executed by the CPU
• It allows us to access CPU registers directly
• It uses a fixed set of instructions called ISA
• Memory is the RAM, storage is the disk
• Data is stored in memory using the little endian representation
• You can disassemble a program with objdump like so:

root@kali:~$ objdump -M intel -d <program> |less
