BOOTCAMP: 64-Bit Programming in C++

64-bit technology introduces several new and complex tasks for software-developers. Even that the hardware developing industry claims that future software development should take care about the new introduced compiler systems, it is necessary to have a deep inside view on how the new underlying 64-bit assembly language works. This article describes what 64-bit means for future software developments, how 64-bit influences assembly programming and how to port applications programmed under 32-bit to 64-bit. It is heavy based on the IA architecture and the Windows® operating system.

The introduction of the 64-bit technology leads into several discussions if this change is really necessary. Some arguments are to speed up computation time or to make calculations more precise. These efforts lead into hard problems which have to be solved by upcoming compilers or operating systems. Especially the necessary change of the operating system infrastructure causes heavy problem porting older 32-bit applications to 64-bit compatibility. Since assembly programming is a comfortable task under 32-bit systems (e.g. MASM, TASM, NASM, FASM and others), the question stays on how to port software and which changes of the architecture affects the current programming techniques. The new 64-bit Architecture introduces many innovations. Some of them are:

• Rich Instruction Set
• Bundled Execution
• Predicated Instructions
• Large Register Files
• Register Stack
• Rotating Registers
• Modulo Scheduled Loops
• Control/Data Speculation
• Cache Control Instructions
• High-precision Floating-Point

Compared to the IA-32 architecture the new IA-64 architecture allows several advantages for the programmer. One of them is the clear and explicit programming technique which results in EPIC (Explicit Parallel Instruction Computing). EPIC is an Intel® IA-64 technique. Additional the programmer can code now more register-based, which means that everything is kept in registers as long as possible. The resulting assembly is code has a clear structure.

This bootcamp was designed for students who already have a basic understanding of programming and want to learn the art of coding in C++. Eclipse IDE and GCC are the main programs that will be used along with several other public tools that will be distributed on-site and software will be created by the student themselves as a learning objective. Some advanced programming techniques will also be taught such as:

• Building a project with Eclipse IDE
• Development under Linux and Windows
• Cross-Platform debugging
• Buffer Overflows and their prevention

In this 3 day hands-on course, you will gain the necessary skills to discover the true nature of any C++ binary. You will learn how to recognize the high level language constructs (such as branching statements, looping functions and STL) critical to performing a thorough and professional development of a binary. After learning these important introductory skills, you will advance to:

• develop own applications in C++
• transform problems to algorithms to running software applications
• prevent software vulnerability

IITAC will train you on the standard C++ development IDE Eclipse.

The content in detail

• Introduction to C++ (Variables, int, float, double, char, Incrementing, Decrementing, Constants, Boolean)

BOOTCAMP: TASM Internals Bootcamp

An assembler as powerful as TASM is capable of enmulating higher level languages while maintaining the performance and size of assembler code. This has been demonstrated with C style code that MASM already supports. The macro capacity built into TASM has allowed the development of a combined macro and library system that partly emulates basic style string handling and other similar language capacities. This allows experienced programmers with multiple language skills to leverage their existing skills and get up to pace writing TASM code more quickly.

TASM comes with its own small default editor that has a reasonable number of prebuilt scripts to make code generation fast and easy. There is the choice of two seperate code generators for creating full window skeletons to develop application in. The editor has a large range of Winhelp help files so that information is available quickly when you need it and its menu system is extendable so you can add more information as you need it. You can easily extend this capacity by rolling your own scripts and prebuilt templates.

TASM assumes that the programmers who will use it already have experience in 32 bit Windows API programming using compilers and have done some work in assembler. It is not designed as a beginners package and it does not have the support for beginners to learn the basic concepts about assembler. It is recommended that beginners to programming learns a compiler like C/C++ Pascal/Delphi or PowerBASIC before they start on an assembler as this will produce the necessary experience to deal with concepts like registers, data sizes or registers, data types, assembler mnemonics, system API calls and different calling conventions. The learner can always come back to assembler once they are familiar and confortable with a compiler.

This has been demonstrated with C style code that MASM already supports. The macro capacity built into MASM has allowed the development of a combined macro and library system that partly emulates basic style string handling and other similar language capacities. This allows experienced programmers with multiple language skills to leverage their existing skills and get up to pace writing MASM code more quickly.

MASM already is capable of building UNICODE applications using the traditional resource string method but additional macros are now supplied to write UNICODE strings directly into the data section in the same manner as normal BYTE data to make the capacity easier to use. There are a couple of UNICODE examples in the example code that show both methods.

MASM32 comes with its own small default editor that has a reasonable number of prebuilt scripts to make code generation fast and easy. There is the choice of two seperate code generators for creating full window skeletons to develop application in. The editor has a large range of Winhelp help files so that information is available quickly when you need it and its menu system is extendable so you can add more information as you need it.

BOOTCAMP: C++ Fundamentals Bootcamp

C++ is a general-purpose programming language. C++ is regarded as a mid-level language, as it comprises a combination of both high-level and low-level language features. It is a statically typed, free-form, multi-paradigm, usually compiled language supporting procedural programming, data abstraction, object-oriented programming, and generic programming.

Bjarne Stroustrup developed C++ in 1979 at Bell Labs as an enhancement to the C programming language and named it “C with Classes”. In 1983 it was renamed to C++. Enhancements started with the addition of classes, followed by, among other features, virtual functions, operator overloading, multiple inheritance, templates, and exception handling. The C++ programming language standard was ratified in 1998 as ISO/IEC 14882:1998, the current version of which is the 2003 version, ISO/IEC 14882:2003. A new version of the standard (known informally as C++0x) is being developed.

What you will learn

This bootcamp was designed for students who already have a basic understanding of programming and want to learn the art of coding in C++. Eclipse IDE and GCC are the main programs that will be used along with several other public tools that will be distributed on-site and software will be created by the student themselves as a learning objective. Some advanced programming techniques will also be taught such as:

• Building a project with Eclipse IDE
• Development under Linux and Windows
• Cross-Platform debugging
• Buffer Overflows and their prevention

In this 3 day hands-on course, you will gain the necessary skills to discover the true nature of any C++ binary. You will learn how to recognize the high level language constructs (such as branching statements, looping functions and STL) critical to performing a thorough and professional development of a binary. After learning these important introductory skills, you will advance to:

• develop own applications in C++
• transform problems to algorithms to running software applications
• prevent software vulnerability

IITAC will train you on the standard C++ development IDE Eclipse.

The content in detail

• Introduction to C++ (Variables, int, float, double, char, Incrementing, Decrementing, Constants, Boolean)
• Code Flow (IF-THEN-ELSE, SWITCH, FOR loops, WHILE loops, REPEAT UNTIL loops)
• I/O
• Subroutines (Functions, Procedures, Paremeters, Prototypes)
• Fields (Arrays, multidimensional Arrays)
• Strings
• Structures
• Pointer (Pointer as parameter, Fields as pointer, Pointer Artihmetic)
• Classes
• Standard Template Library (STL) and how to build own tenplates (Function Templates, Class Templates)
• Exceptions
• Application’s Code Vulnerabilities (Common code vulnerabilities, Weak points research, Code-Flow analysis, Binary Analysis)
