Apparently, a "new" disassembler made by the NSA (lol) named "GHIDRA" is going to be released at the RSA conference in ~2 months for free. Its made in Java, and seems to have a fully functioning decompiler. Not much more details were released other then that, but it seems interesting as a competitor to IDA. https://www.rsaconference.com/events/us19/agenda/sessions/16608-come-get-your-free-nsa-reverse-engineering-tool

Hi, I am stuck trying to recover a microsoft account, and I thought someone might have been through this situation and could give some advice. I know the email, but not the password. I checked the recovery tool, and these are my options: The phone text and call options are out, as I tried them and I don't receive any code. I guess I misspelled my number when I made the account. Now, the email one is tricky. That's a very old email of mine, and most likely it has been deleted. I kinda remember the account, but I will need more details about it in order to create a new one with the same address. As you can see in the picture, all they give me is the provider…

Microsoft is open-sourcing PowerToys on GitHub, so anyone can contribute and create power user tools for Windows 10. The first two utilities that Microsoft is working on for Windows 10 are a new maximize to desktop widget and a Windows key shortcut guide.

The Windows shortcut guide utility simply shows a keyboard shortcut guide when you hold down the Windows key. Microsoft is also considering 10 other utilities for these new PowerToys for Windows 10: …

After the security researchers informed WinRAR of their findings, the team patched the vulnerability with version 5.70 beta 1 of the software. Rather than attempt to fix the issue, the team opted to drop support for ACE archives entirely, which was probably the sensible option considering the only program capable of creating the archives, WinACE, hasn’t been updated since 2007. https://www.theverge.com/2019/2/21/18234448/winrar-winace-19-year-old-vulnerability-patched-version-5-70-beta-1 bonus link - hirensbootcd.org

What is a hacker? What hacking means? The first thing I could think of is intrusion network/websites/forums or gain access to sensitive information. "Hacking smartphone" may mean adding extra-options to smartphone or removing some limitations; making the smartphone having some features which wasn't originally there! Some said that hacker invented the internet and stuff like that... anyway from what I could see hacking almost always has negative connotations.
