Hello,

I have completed all reverse engineering writeups, I’ve written a writeup for every single challenge I solved. It wasn’t easy lol, I failed many times, got stuck a lot, and often had no clear clues on what to do next, There were moments where I felt completely lost and couldn’t find answers.

I did use AI sometimes, but here’s something important:

If you’re doing reverse engineering with AI, don’t expect it to directly give you the full flag.

Instead, use it properly:

* Ask it to analyze functions
* Understand instructions
* Focus only on suspicious parts of the code

That’s where it actually helps. The real thinking still has to come from you.

Honestly, this was very challenging for me, and I had a hard time completing all of this in less than 14 days

Have a nice day 🙂

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://alham-rizvi.gitbook.io/alhamrizvi/picoctf-writeups/picoctf/reverse-engineering/0.-readme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
