    adafruit industries blog | 2 Sep 2010 | 7:28am CDT

    It’s Thursday, time to reach in to the mailbag… Hi guys, Just wanted to thank you and commend your efficiency in getting things around the other side of the world in record time. I ordered some gear late on a Friday afternoon, and it was on my desk in Australia by Wednesday morning.  Impressive! Thanks again, Scott...

  3. Top Ten Lost Technologies

  5. Google’s Earth

    adafruit industries blog | 1 Sep 2010 | 11:05am CDT

    Interesting op-ed from William Gibson.. Science fiction never imagined Google, but it certainly imagined computers that would advise us what to do. HAL 9000, in “2001: A Space Odyssey,” will forever come to mind, his advice, we assume, eminently reliable " before his malfunction. But HAL was a discrete entity, a genie in a bottle, something...

  8. Facebook Places: A Review

    robohara.com | 27 Aug 2010 | 10:33pm CDT

    Earlier this week, Facebook rolled out “Places”, an update to the mobile version of its app. To quote Facebook’s official blog, Facebook allows its users to share “who, what, when … and now where, with Facebook Places.” There seems to be a lot of general confusion as to what Places is and isn’t, what it...

    All of the following albums were released 20 years ago in August, 1990. N.W.A. – 100 Miles and Runnin’: The follow-up EP to the band’s seminal Straight Outta Compton album. This EP marked the departure of Ice Cube (who would soon launch his own successful music and acting careers). Despite the fact that “100 Miles”...

    Every now and then, a random memory from my childhood will pop unto my head. When that happens, it’s up to me and Google to try and track it down. When I was a kid, my mom used to buy me lots of “knock-off” records — compilations of songs and movie themes recorded by people...

  11. Humble Pie

    robohara.com | 24 Aug 2010 | 5:42am CDT

    On Sunday, Dad treated the family to some pizza at Humble Pie in Edmond. None of us had been there before, but with a slogan that read “Humble Pie: Authentic Chicago-Style Pizza,” we hoped it would be good. When you’re in Oklahoma, “Chicago-Style” doesn’t mean much. Take pizza, for example. It could mean a flat,...

  13. Vera 0.20 - Now Available

    dannyquist's blog | 13 Aug 2010 | 12:55am CDT

    After a lot of work, I'm happy to announce that Vera 0.20 is available for download. This release is a rewrite of the entire code base into wxWidgets. Based on some excellent feedback from my talk at REcon (an excellent con by the way) I've made some substantial changes to the backend code. If you're not familiar with VERA, it's a visualization tool to help understand the dynamic execution of a program. It's made to take the instruction traces from Ether and generate directed graphs showing the...

  16. AV Testing Standards: Don't Like the Results of the Tests? Change the Rules

    dannyquist's blog | 19 Jul 2010 | 12:44am CDT

    There were good responses, mostly from people in the AV industry, to my blog post about the malware testing standards. Overlooking my error linking to their original paper (sorry) there were some points I would like to address. At the heart of this whole process, is exactly how dangerous a collection of malware is. For the consumers, I would argue, it's not dangerous at all. The malware industry is the only one who has to fear from it. Notice I didn't say just the AV vendors, but also the produ...

  20. Vera 0.11 - Bug Fix Release

    First of all, thanks for all the great feedback from everyone about Vera. Keep the feedback coming! Vera 0.11 is out on the main Vera page. This release fixes a major memory leak for those of you who aren't running video cards with a gig of ram. This should also alleviate problems that were related to running under Windows XP. A future port to a wxWidgets version is underway. This will eventually allow for cross-platform versions, hopefully timed with the IDA QT release. As always, please report...

  21. Ether 0.1 Debian Package - BETA

    dannyquist's blog | 28 May 2010 | 5:57pm CDT

    To make Ether a bit easier to install, we've put together a Debian package with precompiled Ether binaries. This is considered a highly beta install package, so you will want to take care about where you install it. Everything should install into /opt/ and work very closely to how Ether does when you compile via source. Please note that this package contains the Ether patched Xen package. Other than satisfying the package's dependencies, you shouldn't install anything beyond that. This has been...

  22. Generating Ether-like Trace Files for VERA

    dannyquist's blog | 24 May 2010 | 5:50pm CDT

    I've had a few people email me about how to use non-Ether generated trace files in VERA. To help with this, I ran a trace with Ether of the Notepad.exe included with Windows XP. Notepad.exe Trace file If you want to generate instruction traces external from Ether, you just need to make sure it follows the same format. First, you should start with the standard instruction trace boilerplate. It looks like this: After init: shared_page_ptr: 0xffff830000fd9000 shared_page_mfn: 0xfd9...
