Ok, i don twant to tread on any walked ground but i was wondering if people could provide an exhaustive list of the OSS/commercial/etc tools they commonly use in reverse engineering.

I am aware that many instances of reversing require custom scripts/tools/programs in order to fully extract useful information, but a 'toolkit' of sorts would be a great asset.

I am sure that people here will know tools that other folks havent come across, and their introduction will be of great use. You'll be helping.

Example:/

IDA Pro  //comm dissasembly platform
softICE  // lowlevel debuger
ollyDBG // ring 3 debugger
hexDump // hexeditor

I've heard of people talk about things like PEExplorer, but in my professional experience as a malware researcher/reverse engineer i've never actually had ot use it. It'd be interesting to get some comments on the tools too, and see how useful they might be..
