I should note that the Sennheiser MX400 headphones in question are a $10 unit. Definitely not the worst you can get for the price, but by no means high-end units. Just something to keep in mind when thinking about this.

I thought the exact same. Then I lived in NYC for a year and a half in something like 180sqft. Never, ever again. Even things like having two other people in the place was uncomfortable. There was space for a full bed and a small desk an

Hell, that's how I got into reversing a decade ago. I spent years reverse-engineering Everquest to work on server emulators, as well as an open-source client replacement. Quite the gateway drug.

I've never run into corruption directly, but IDA has tanked for me upon exiting debugging where it attempts to re-relocate. Haven't seen that in a number of years, though.

My god, the ability to use this for tracing code makes me more excited than anything I've seen in a while. The debugging facilities on x86 are, well, limited to the point of being damn near useless. I may spend some time hacking solid tra

There's not any useful code yet. The Github repo is primarily to be used for issue tracking and all that, but 99% of design is happening on IRC right now.

Thanks for the kind words! I won't be accepting donations of any kind with this, just time from people working on it; donations make things far more complex, and it's not hard to fund it out of pocket.

I'm glad to see this here, as I think that now -- while things are in the earliest stages of design -- is the time for us to make changes and adapt. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to voice them here or in #dist

So, the reason that hangs win9x is that cli disables interrupts, then foo: jmp foo runs into an infinite loop. With interrupts disabled, it's impossible to preempt the process, so it just hangs everything. This shouldn't work from a wi
