Grease: An Open-Source Tool for Uncovering Hidden Vulnerabilities in Binary Code (galois.com)
Proactively and defensively ensuring the absence of vulnerabilities in binary code is crucial for deploying high-assurance systems. GREASE is an open-source tool leveraging under-constrained symbolic execution to help software reverse engineers analyze binaries and uncover hard-to-spot bugs, ultimately enhancing system security. This kind of binary analysis is especially important for systems that include COTS software that is only provided in binary form.

Disassembling a binary: linear sweep and recursive traversal (nicolo.dev)
Building your own set of analysis tools is a great exercise for those who already have some basics and allows you to later move on to implement more targeted analyses in reverse engineering. Even just seeing how the different algorithms can be implemented provides a mental framework that may help when reverse engineering more difficult-to-analyse executable files, i.e. obfuscated ones.
