I did it the other way around. Started with a binary and a disassembler
and figured out how it worked, then learned to patch it up to check my
understanding was correct.

I started with the 6502 and a dead tree of the Apple ][ ROM source a
couple of moons ago. That was so much more pleasant than x86 assembly,
but that method works just as well.

These days I only get into PC assembler when correcting broken software,
but I still write a lot of uController code in asm.

There is a free version of IDA available. It's the ducks nuts as far as
disassemblers go.
