In most cases the register rsp or esp holds the address of the top of the stack

But what means push? What means push 00000163?

But what means push? What means push 00000163?

It loads("pushes") the hex value of 163 onto the top of the stack. That means that the value will be in [esp] for x32 or [rsp] in the case of x64. If there is another push after that instruction for example push 00000100 then [esp]/[rsp] contains the hex value of 100 and [esp+4]/[rsp+4] contains the hex value of 163. At least if the second value pushed onto the stack is 4 bytes big, if it is 8 bytes big then [esp+8]/[rsp+8] would contain the first value pushed onto the stack.

Instead of push 163 you could also write:

Code: Select all

sub esp,4 // or rsp and sub 8 for 8-Bytes big values 
mov [esp],163
