Made this for work after encountering 500+ line functions in the legacy code.

When your team uses both scss & less in the same project

The best software license ever seen :

my patches and additions on top of Ian's code are licensed under the ABSE ("Anyone But Stefan Esser") license.
note that an additional exception to the license is added, forbidding use/redistribution of said content to his
trainees as well, but only when in a 5 mile radius from "Stefan Esser" or while holding any sort of (video)conference/chat with him.

note that this license will only be used as long as what would capstone decode / that one other arm64 ida
plugin thing by i0n1c ("Stefan Esser") are not under the MIT license.
afterwards, all exceptions are cleared and basically WTFPL applies

if you need a copy of the rest of the license feel free to google it or something.

Learning IDA rn, any advice?

How to reverse engineer without knowing how to reverse engineer:
1.Open IDA pro
2. Hit shift+f12 for the strings view
3. Choose an interesting string
4. Hit x and go over the xrefs
5. You are now earning at least $140K a year.
Bonus: say that you can code html

Found Ghidra today.
Fuck IDA.

Dockerize all the things! 🐳🐋

The number of services you need to grok for full AWS certification...

Apple must have people really good at IDA Pro macOS masks the uname -a string perfectly. Side note: macOS is the best Linux distro.

Had to track down IDA 5.0 today because I need to decompile a DOS program and DOS' included debugger wasn't cutting it. (Related note: If anyone has a copy of SOURCER, mind sharing?)

I was introduced to disassembly/reverse engineering today. It's amazing how many production applications use isLicenseValid() or other helpful function signatures to assist in my practical learning :p I'm looking at you sublime text

Bitcoin malwares are everywhere.
The hard part is doing reverse engineering and wondering why its feeding on only top of the stack in assembly
Edit: Using IDA Pro

While ill started with some hack the box challenges. Really addictive stuff. For one opened binary in IDA and changed one assembly instruction to obtain the flag. Felt like a hacker. - lasted only till next challengr

So apparently people use IDA over Ghidra still.

Either they're paying thousands a year for the privelege or they've got a cracked version. Either way, you're getting shafted. (Pirated IDA databases can't be loaded in legit copies, so forget community sharing without exporting shit, and IDA is confused by jumps in anything half the time. Pirated IDA also often has issues with plugins and mods and such.

Why are you people like this?

Reverse engineering with IDA, be like:
Ow that makes sense, lets jmp there, nope thats not... aaah this must be the subroutine I was lookig for, nope thats not it, repeat.
