Hi everyone — I've wanted to learn reverse engineering for a long time, but I don't know which path I should follow. To be honest, I know C++ at an average/intermediate level. I've also used tools like x64dbg, HTTP Debugger, IDA, etc., and I can solve average crackmes. But once protections like XOR, VMP, Themida, and similar are added, I can't do anything. I especially get stuck when I can't identify strings. How can I improve myself? I cracked game cheats a few times that used auth, but I still feel like I don't know anything. Could you please give me suggestions so I can really improve in a short time? Also, when I can't find strings, what exactly can I do, or what should I do when I come across a file that uses VMP?
