Hi,

..NET assemblies can be reverse engineered easily unless obfuscated. Try these links for reverse engineering applications:

It's harder if it's obfuscated. I'd urge everybody to use the free "dotfuscato r" (.NET obfuscator) to make your work harder for crackers like this to steal.

Hi, Im interested in Reverse Engineering C++ source code into a form more comprehensible than the source itself. I want to write a basic one myself, obviously i need to write a parser for the source code. Although this has some overlap with say a compiler it would also seem significantly different too.

Hi folks, I have unpacked an all-in-one exe produced by InstallShield. I've made the necessary changes and now I'm ready to repack the files. How can I do that? Which program should I use? For unpacking I used IsXunpack. But which one should I use to repack the files into an all-in-one exe again? Maybe I should use InstallShield itself, but how?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
