Hi guy, so yesterday I got some strange problem I never got before. I was on PC and everything was normal and then I started a movie with VLC player and I did press on seek bar to skip the intro and right after this everything was freeze! It looks like you would press pause on what happens on monitor screen. Even the VLC player was still playing (I could hear the audio of video only) but I could do nothing. Only thing what was working is the mouse pointer I could move anywhere on screen. Even the keyboard didn't help (was working / lights on / off etc) pressing Windows key or ESC etc nothing did pop up on screen. That was super strange. So why can I move the mouse po…

Hi everyone, As a newcomer to reverse engineering, there are so many tools and programs that can be downloaded - many of them being easily accessible, some of them being more niche. Either way, they are spread out far and wide - which is understandable. However, is there a mass repository of tools out there that are maintained (or at least archived) in one central location? I ask because, whether or not it exists - I am a proponent of self-hosting and local backups for preservation. I want to backup whatever tools are deemed essential (I’ll learn, in time…), or even those which are just obscure or niche. I want to keep everything I can locally (with all the responsibiliti…

If I want to reverse such a group, can you contact me? Inbox please.

hi, i'm not that bad at reverse engineering, my assembly language's comprehension is pretty good, C++ too and i wanna start other things like cracking, but i don't know how to unpack, manually or not etc etc. So if anyone can help me that would be great (sorry if i made any orthograph fault, i'm don't speak english every day so be cool please 😭)

I know it's always been this way, but I've never liked how security researchers and reverse engineers insist that certain bugs and certain protectors cannot be attacked using static analysis. I first noticed this attitude in the RE community, and later with certain types of heap and stack bugs—even in C. I was reminded of this mindset recently when people were analyzing Denuvo. As far as I can tell, the claim only really holds for things like decompression, decryption, or mutation tracking. It definitely doesn't apply to something like an unused (dangling) pointer or TOCTOU bug in C code. In the security research world, it's actually taught that only about 30% of exploita…

Ahoy guys, Long time no see! I want to wish everyone a wonderful time and hope you’re enjoying life. It’s been 17 years since I found this website, I’ve gained a lot of knowledge and made some good friends here! Greetings to all old and new t4y members! Cheers BP

Hi guy's, since a while I'm always getting this error or others trying to play embedded YT video's like from RSS (FeedBro) extension or directly via embedded URL. Mostly it happens every second day and it sucks of course. I was trying to find out what the problem is and found out it has anything do to with the cookies / cache for the website. So when I get this error 153 what does not allow me to watch that video embedded and I have to click to get redirected to video page, I can start a new container tab (Firefox extension - which runs separated from all other cookie / cache) load the embedded website into and it runs as it should be and I can watch the video right away …

Special thanks to you @CodeExplorer Thank you for sharing so many powerful tools with us.

Hi. Looking for strong name (signed) 64 bits assembly! If possible will be great if the assembly is a dll which has assembly references. I just need to test my strong name tool.

Hi guys, today I found a new strange issue trying to access some websites with my actually gotten IP for today. I try to access few normal websites like github and see the performance is somehow pretty slow to load the website. Its still working to use and surf on it but slow. In other case I was trying to access xyplorer.com website and it fails and runs into an timeout. Also curl failed with.. curl: (28) Failed to connect to www.xyplorer.com port 443 after 21182 ms: Could not connect to server ...and the question is WHY? Normally I'm using Cloudflare as DNS resolver on system & browser. I tried using couple other ones like quad in browser but they also failed to loa…

Thanks in advance. Regards. sean.

Hi guys, I would like to know how I can print specific found results into specific view in CLI window itself. So I found that Findstr CLI tool from Windows you can use to search for specific strings or RegEx in files or just using it as pipe to check the CLI window content and to reprint found results. Nice tool so far but there is a problem. Findstr does just print entire lines only what is bad if you want to find words in a super long line so then entire long line gets printed and its hard to find the result in this long line you know. Now I'm looking for a method to find specific words and cut them after so that only the results get printed without the entire line…

Hey guy's, short question. Normally I'm using VPN sometimes to bypass some GEO blocks etc and need to use some simple VPN browser AddOn & Extension. I did notice that some of those free VPN tools aren't working anymore or at all and right now the VPN called 'Hotspot Shield' seems to work 0,0 to connect to anything (seems to be dead) but its sill active on Chrome store (not in Mozilla store / kicked out). Even trying to use other extensions isn't very comfy to connect & wait etc. So are there any other methods we could use which are working faster? greetz

Hi guy, short ago I did notice that some RSS feeds I do follow aren't working anymore to get some successfully response back when requesting them. I found out that the problem is the used HTTP request version. Seems that rss feeds switch to HTTP/2 as minimum and reject lower versions what is a problem, I'm still using an older RSS Feed tool called QuiteRSS (2020 last update) and its not working anymore for some feeds because of that new problem. So unfortunately I still didn't found any good alternative RSS feed reader tools (desktop) only RSS Guard but this is pretty slow and has much issues etc. So the good news is that I found by random that the Vivaldi brows…

Hi guy, just trying to test some TTS (Text to Speech) tools I can find on Github or checking on huggingface. I was testing some directly installed in ComfyUI (so far they did work more or less) and some I did installed manually / git. The latest I tried was called Zonos which just works partially in CUI just with transformer model and hybrid model failed and at all I got tons of errors but it did work to create some audio. So the result of that was not really good and it was more disappointing even to use a custom voice. The emotions node you can connect did nothing at all to hear any changes even if you increase some emotion to the highest value. ☹️ Then I installed the …

I had an old account here as "SoCal" but lost the email so, this is me. I haven't shared anything in around a decade so was wondering if something like a lic system emulator/fake would be ok. Project and source code only. Cheers

It's IObit-Unlocker source code. Content removed. If someone has a copy, I would appreciate a D/L link. -thx

That’s a really good intuition 👍 — in some sense, yes, a computer is like a gigantic switchboard, but with some important differences. Let me explain: 🔌 The "Switchboard" AnalogyAt the lowest level, a computer is made of transistors. A transistor is a switch: it can connect or disconnect current, just like flipping a light switch. Logic gates (AND, OR, NOT, etc.) are built from a handful of these switches. Then, processors, memory, and GPUs are built from billions of these switches wired together. So in one way, a modern CPU or GPU is literally a “huge switchboard” with billions of electronic switches flipping on and off billions of times per second. ⚡ Key Differences Fro…

Hi guy's, just watched some YT video's on DuckDuckGo (privacy secure !?!) and after a while it wasn't working anymore over DuckDuckGo and directly on YT too. Look... ...so what is this for a new shit? They want me to login so they can see I'm not a BOT!? So crazy! Great! Now I have to use VPN to bypass that YT shit or login! By the way, why is DuckDuckGo not working to play the YT video's on their own site? I thought they pipe it like they do with using goog to get and display the results. Seems that DuckDuckGo leaks or what! greetz

Hello, I am a new member of the forum. I started studying IT and after gaining a lot of knowledge I really liked the field of reverse engineering. I am learning C, analyzing code in Assembler, and gradually learning Assembler itself. What advice could you give in terms of learning reverse engineering?

Hi guys, just two new little questions I have. I would like to know whether its possible to display some HTML code not as code / as HTML result itself? Example...below a short html code... <html> <head> <title>Page Title</title> </head> <body> <h1>This is a Heading</h1> <p>This is a paragraph.</p> </body> </html> ...and instead of showing that code above I want to show the results of it / executed = This is a Heading This is a paragraph. ...on forum itself like here. Similar like you can do with images so they are also displayed as image. Is it also doable with HTML code to show the…
