Struggling

[HexaPe]

Hey everyone

Ive spent the last few weeks reading whatever I can find about unpacking specifically trying to wrap my head around how themida and vmp work

I’ve managed to get x64dbg and ida pro set up, and i've been playing around with some basic targets just to understand how a PE file is structured and how IAT redirection works but every time I touch something protected i feel like i'm way out of my depth

Any advice or a push in the right direction would be huge
