A lame, meandering shaggy dog story written by someone who gives the impression he has never seen a programming language before in his life 'Breaking this statement down, I determined that “jnz” was a standard program assembly language statement for “jump if not zero.”'. This guy supposedly does this for a living? This is ieee.org/software not The Sun (a british daily tabloid which caters for the retarded)
More sloppy still, part of the basis for this "investigation" is stuff downloaded from the web, which renders it devoid of any evidential value whatsoever.
- kapnobatairza 14y agoAs someone who is even more unfamiliar with low level programming languages and forensics, I would greatly appreciate some elaboration on your comment. What exactly gives you the impression that he is such a novice - You pointed to a quote about the "jnz" statement but I'm unclear as to how that points to the author's inexperience. Also despite the fact that the author seems inexperienced, would you say his conclusions are credible?
