Hi, everyone. I'm having a trouble in my PC now. Like my topic title says, very time I press 's' key on keyboard, Windows button pressed automatically. It's surely annoying. I can't type any words which contains 's' char. I don't know how to use right keyword in Google to search the solution. anyone have experience this? I really get frustrated because of this. I upload a small video to show you what my trouble is. https://www.sendspace.com/file/46fvpr Salam.

For those amongst us who were around back when the Amiga was released and lucky enough to have lived through the golden years of the scene, may like to read a nice eight-part series by Nathan Mattise on the history of Amiga to celebrate the machines 30th birthday - 23rd July 1985. http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/07/the-amiga-turns-30-nobody-had-ever-designed-a-personal-computer-this-way/ Another article from The Guardian... http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/jul/23/commodore-amiga-at-30-the-computer-that-made-the-uk-games-industry Such a sad ending for a legendary machine, happy belated birthday Amiga! Ted.

Extremely sad news. After 20 years, Planet Source Code is shutting down. June 16, 2015I have some extremely sad news. After 20 years, Planet Source Code is shutting down. The storage area network that stored the uploads experienced a catastrophic hardware failure, and all of the uploads have been lost. Without them, it doesn't make sense to continue running the site.

Some years ago (1-3) I got my hands on some reverse engineering challenges. They started simple, like "add a save option" on a text editor. I do not remember much about them, but I am trying to find them again. If anyone has any good reverse engineering "challenges" that are not entirelly "crack" based, and are focused more on the understanding of a programs flow, it would be a big help to me. Not sure if this is the right section though. Thank you in advance guys.

I am curious to know if any of you guys and girls use a Linux/Unix operating system and if so which flavour and why - is it your main operating system? Mac OS doesn't count... Ted.

More than 600 Million users of Samsung Galaxy smartphones, including the newly released Galaxy S6, are potentially vulnerable to a software bug that allows hackers to secretly monitor the phone's camera and microphone, read text messages and install malicious apps. The vulnerability is due to a problem with the Samsung built-in keyboard app that enables easier predictive text. http://thehackernews.com/2015/06/hacking-samsung-mobile.html

Hi Friends, I use Themida - Winlicense Ultra Unpacker 1.4 ollydbg script but I received an error. This is a mistake 1) 2) 3) After script stop and does not continue. Help please.

Hello there, I was wondering if is it of a common practice to be able to talk about a specific program and share one's findings. Something like : giving the target name, Url, and then sharing the protection scheme, VA's like serial verification routines and stuff... untill we achieve our goal (exemple: keygening a real app). Or is it forbidden / too dangerous ? I didnt find anything about this in the general rules.. Thanks if you can help, or if you can advise me a place where this is common practice (if it ever exists!) -tusk-

Hello guys How to renaming C# assembled dll file?

My ideea is to build a .NET packer, no good protection against reverse enginnering, but best optimizations and minim file size. Please vote!

I'm a beginner at reverse engineering and I’m trying to make the leap to expert. Which VM can you recommend to run and wich Windows OS I'm hopefully looking for references and good pointers.

Hello everyone. I'm a newbie reverser that just completed both Random's and Lena's tutorials (thanks a lot authors!) and I found that I really like reversing, and since I saw myself coming back here pretty often I decided to create an account and make a small thread.What would be the best way to continue learning? Should I just dive into the files section, download crackmes and unpackmes and try to solve them? Any recommendation about any that would be good to learn from? How did you guys get into and learned to reverse?Anyway, I hope I'm not too much of a nuisance and I hope that in time I can give something back.
