[edit] Disassembler list

I've been wondering if this article should have a more exhaustive list of disassemblers. Three is hardly very many, and since they're all for the x86 platform, someone looking for disassemblers for, say, ARM or MIPS would be quite disappointed. --Aurochs

I think that IDA supports lots of different platforms. Salvatore Ingala 2 July 2005 01:02 (UTC)

It does, but it also costs 439 USD for a personal license. That's out of most people's price ranges. So, yeah, I'd like to see a more diverse list of more sanely-priced software. =P --Aurochs

[edit] Merge Disassembler with Disassembly

Agreed, you can't talk about disassembling without disassemblers and vice versa. Thus, the articles should be put up together.

In my opinion, merging Disassembler with Disassembly is a bad idea. While Disassembler may at this point be most common used within software engineering, the software engineering usage of Disassembly is merely a small subset of its meaning. The Wikipedia is a general reference, not a software engineering specific reference. We should not arbitrarily limit the content to a small portion of its meaning. --Makyen 12006-09-12 15:55 UTC

[edit] Reverse Engineering Wikibook

I've posted similar messages to this one in one or two other articals, so if that bothers anybody, let me know. I've started a Wikibooks:Reverse Engineering wikibook, and am looking to generate interest among readers and contributers. So far the book has been able to cover some basic topics in disassembly and reverse engineering, but unfortunately there simply havent been enough contributers to really expand the sections on basic disassembly, and create new sections on more advanced disassembly topics. If you want to help out with the project, swing by and read what we have --Whiteknight 14:26, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

OMG thank you. I'll be sure to help wherever possible. --Aurochs
