Linux reverse engineering - Chapter 3 of Security Warrior

About the White Paper:
What's the worst an attacker can do to you? You'd better find out, right? That's what Security Warrior teaches you. Based on the principle that the only way to defend yourself is to understand your attacker in depth, Security Warrior reveals how your systems can be attacked. Covering everything from reverse engineering to SQL attacks, and including topics like social engineering, antiforensics, and common attacks against UNIX and Windows systems, this book teaches you to know your enemy and how to be prepared to do battle.
Chapter 3 is concerned with reverse engineering in the Linux environment, a topic that is still sparsely covered despite years of attention from security consultants, software crackers, programmers writing device drivers or Windows interoperability software. The question naturally arises: why would anyone be interested in reverse engineering on Linux, an operating system in which the applications that are not open source are usually available for no charge?
