    LOL, shout out to SEN - I used his tool, Hiew back in 1994 for the first time. Good times. P.S. I still use it from time to time - it has a nice built-in assembler for x86/x86-x64.…

    LOL, someone told me in an interview that they are a C++ expert. I asked them if that refers to their company, or the wider community, or the C++ Committee members or the C++ compi…

    I don't think that is possible. I used early versions of IDA Pro on MS-DOS in 1996... and it had the core analysis and interactive disasm mode then. Ghidra seems to be based on thi…
