I apologize to everyone on the site for my somewhat spotty attendance in the past week.I have been going thru a little bit of a family crisis and have not had time to update a great deal. I WILL BE updating shortly, as soon as I get this situation under control. Thanks for understanding.
In the mean time, I leave you with this. Apparently, they do not think very highly of the Ciber-crime management…
David Teitelbaum has released a very nice, all encompassing intro to reversing Android. It is very easy to follow as he completely reverses a simple “Hello World” application. Check it out.
This title has nothing to do with anything except it was used to drop a trojan into millions of unsuspecting users. I figured if this title is sexy enough to make that many people click on it (and then fill out a questionnaire WITH THEIR CELL PHONE NUMBER ON IT) then I would test it out for click-ability here. From now on, anything that I don’t think very many people will click on, I am putting this in the title. I mean, this post is about almost nothing and yet you’re still reading, so I guess it works 
Of course, this is a lot of typing for a title, so I will shorten it to SDIPIHSAWD, which I think actually has a nice ring to it.
I’m sure scientists 30 years from now will still be going through NickyBlue’s posts on the forum (all 700 pages of them). Even though I appreciate his spunk, I would appreciate it more if he would send me whatever medication he’s on. If I had that much energy, I would have finally been able to get through Gravity’s Rainbow!
Xor06 has released a new crackme and tutorial based on Visual Basic .NET. Download it on the tutorials page. Kepp up the good work, Xor06.
Nonobit has informed me that ESET Smart Security now blocks TheLegendOfRandom as a malicious web site. I wear this as a badge of honor.
Many World of Warcraft players were surprised that, due to an exploit on the site, several cities were decimated , killing all people who lived in them. In other news, the jobless rate has plummeted because of former out of work 20-somethings who were spending all of their time on online games have no option but to get a job…
Feryno over at the x86asm.net site has released a debugger for AMD 64-bit apps. Looks very promising, and it goes to show what can be accomplished in assembly language (this debugger uses FASM.) As you can see, there is a tremendous amount of data displayed in the debugger:
There is also a version for Linux.
Tavis Ormandy has come out with an amazing article on exploiting .rar files. Apparently, there is a virtual machine that runs with rar files (used for filtering) but can be programmed manually. Tavis shows how a hello world can be executed automatically when opening a .rar file. I am sure we will hear more about this exploit in the future. In the meantime, read the article . It’s fascinating…
I just wanted to take a minute and give a shout out to the moderators of this site. Without them, this site would not be anywhere near as great a site as it is. Besides the constant bombardment of spam they must deal with (the benefits of a site growing in popularity) they also answer questions with lightning speed and help contribute a great deal behind the scenes.
So cheers to Nwokiller and Xor06 (Rip06), and thanks for all the hard work!
