Nice blog : http://xpwasmyidea.blogspot.in/2011/09/features-removed-in-windows-8.html

First: Hi, this is my first post here and I will tell a little bit about myself. I am 20 years old and studying computer science. I've discovered reverse engineering a few months ago. I've found this site while I was searching for information about reverse engineering, and I've found it to be the best site on reversing I've came across. I've mainly followed the first tutorials from Lena151 and some from r4ndom. I run a windows 7 64-bit, but I use ollydbg on windows xp 32-bit via oracle vm virtualbox (it crashes if i tun olly outside virtualbox). Since I haven't had any contact with (other) reversers (don't know if I should call myself a reverser), I'm unsure what to do ne…

Hi, just wanna ask if you know some tools which can check almost all files on HDD or USB stick to check whether all are still all right.So I have a USB stick with many rar and exe etc files and that USB stick works slowly [access on it hangs a bit no idea why so I have 2 of the same USB sticks and all both does hang on the same way] and today I checked some rar files with winrar [test function] and some of them was corrupt and I can not unpack them anymore etc.So now I wanna check the whole USB stick for such error files so how can I do this without to choose any single files manually.Good would be to have a tool which checks all files and which then create a log file wi…

Windows 8 Tells Microsoft About Everything You Install, Not Very Securely http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2012/08/windows-8-tells-microsoft-about-everything-you-install-not-very-securely/

Okay pretty stupid question, but... if you really think about it its not as stupid as it sounds. Lets say you "patch" a file from a company that requires a fee to use after a trial period, This patch modified the bytes on HD to use the product after its trial period, I could expect that this is just cause for prosecution and be fined or jailed accordingly. but now using a memory loader you do not modify the companies file at all, Instead you are modifying your own memory which you own. Infact you should be charging the company a leasing fee to use your memory to host there application.... Would this hold up in court? would the judge/jury what every.. be aware of the diffe…

I have a target that communicates with a web based lic server. When blocked in my hosts file the license invalidates(No brainer). The funny thing is, monitoring all traffic to and from the PC shows zero activity from the application. So, the question is, can anyone suggest a good app that monitors EVERYTHING, ive tried fiddler already, its pretty good but obviously lets this one slip by. Cheers.

Hello, I'm trying with some malicious files. So i need to keep my system avoid infecting. I know some malicious code can break deepfreeze (DF), but not mine. So please read my ideal. I have C, D and E where C is system, D and E are Data Files. I always copy/move/download so D and E can not be DF, i installed DF into C, so C can be safe now But if i run virus, it will copy itself into D and E, my Data can be infected, not good, i don't want that. My pc can not run virtual machine, it so weak. So if i lock D and E by software, which need password to open, can virus infect my Data? If so, is there any way to keep my Data clean? Thanks in advance.
