hi guys.
i know if i want to become to a skilful hacker i need to learn Assembly, but as you know Assembly is sooooo hard. i worked with pascal before so i have a background in programming but i have no resume in hardware i know only the basics of this field (how to replace RAM CPU HDD and a little bit troubleshooting and so on) and because of this i have many problems with cpu registers (as you know its the basic of Assembly) and i cant understand it. So i want my friends to show me an easy way to learn Assembly tell me if you have reference or video serious or book and so on.

Thank you so mcuh
Regards..

There are several video groups for assembly on Security Tube: http://www.securitytube.net/groups?operation=viewall&groupId=0

This isn't really professional-level like the name implies, but it's a good resource for Linux assembly, though it uses ATT syntax instead of Intel, if I remember correctly: http://www.amazon.com/Professional-Assembly-Language-Programmer/dp/0764579010/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1341900321&sr=8-6&keywords=assembly+language

Intel references: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/architectures-software-developer-manuals.html/

I'd also recommend the Intel Developer Manuals.

Fair enough. You can easily google for video tutorials. Here's one that popped up: http://showmedo.com/videotutorials/series?name=qdrYRTz8Z

I'm sure you can find more. Otherwise, there are plenty of written tutorials online.

I am presently reading "Assembly language for x86 processors" and it appears to be a good read. Though I am at the third chapter only.

The book "The Art of Assembly" is one of the greatest resources on Assembly language, I believe it is not easy to break into this topic, so don't give up read & raed & read.. there is nothing wrong with reading the same topic or page for 5 or even 10 times over and over, if you get stuck at some point, there are some public Assembly forum that supports learners, I have used assembly to program a micro-controller that would control a color of  a LED on a circuit, and still suffer with this, that is why I always have much respect for advanced Assembly programmers and I refer to them as "The masters of programming", not only they can program, also they are good with debugging, not to mention all the advantage they gain over all the high-level languages programmers. If you want to have this power.. you need to earn it  Wink, now that is said.. GOOD LUCK.

You might even want to start with a general book on computer architecture. Assembly is fairly intuitive once you understand how memory and CPUs work.

I have the Kindle edition of this: http://www.amazon.com/Inside-Machine-Introduction-Microprocessors-Architecture/dp/1593271042/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1344238547&sr=8-1&keywords=inside+the+machine

It looks like they've stopped printing the hard-copy version. It's definitely a bit out of date now, but it'll certainly help you get up to speed with the basics. It just doesn't cover the newest processors, which isn't necessary for intro assembly programming anyway.
