Hello everyone. Mirrai here. In Part 1 we covered registers, the Windows x64 calling convention, shadow space, and how RSP and RIP work. If you haven't read that I recommend starting there. Today we're going to cover the actual instructions or syntax of assembly. By the end you'll be able to read most of what a debugger shows you and understand what each instruction is doing and why. Keep in mind there are a lot of other instructions I won't cover but I'll cover the basic ones.
With that said, let's get into it.
Moving Data Around
The most common instruction you'll see is mov. It copies a value from a source to a destination. That's it.
mov rax, 5 ; put the value 5 into RAX
