Does anyone have any good tutorials on how to effectively use a debugger? I have OllyDBG and IDA Pro but it's just gibberish to me (why can't everything decompile into Java? :p ) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

(I want to understand how the program I'm disassembling works so it needs to be a fairly generic tutorial ...I think)

a compiler turn turns the code you write into machine code (assembly) if you want to understand it you'l have to laern assembly...

Any suggestions for assembly tutorials? Thanks for the heads up on that I was unaware it was a language :p (that's what I get for ignoring all the 'what is a compiler' crap in CSCE 1001 :p )
