Course 33 - Static Analysis for Reverse Engineering | Episode 3: Graphical Reverse Engineering with x64dbg
Published 1 week, 5 days ago
Description
In this lesson, you’ll learn about: graphical static analysis and Control Flow Graphs (CFGs)Review AnswerWhen analyzing a Control Flow Graph (CFG) in x64dbg with the xAnalyzer plugin:🔹 What Green and Red Arrows Represent

- Green arrows
- Represent the successful condition (TRUE branch)
- The path taken when a comparison or condition is met
- Red arrows
- Represent the failed condition (FALSE branch)
- The path taken when the condition is not met
- The program evaluates a condition (e.g., JE, JNE, JG, etc.)
- The CFG visually splits into:
- ✅ Green path → correct condition
- ❌ Red path → incorrect condition
- Quickly identify:
- Which branch leads to:
- “Access Granted”
- “Access Denied”
- Which branch leads to:
- Focus on:
- The green path to understand:
- What makes the input valid
- The green path to understand:
- Or manipulate:
- The execution flow (e.g., forcing a jump)
- If key is correct:
- → Program follows green arrow
- → Shows success message
- If key is wrong:
- → Program follows red arrow
- → Shows error message
- Green = “This condition passed”
- Red = “This condition failed”
- Track logic
- Identify validation points
- Reverse engineer faster and smarter
