   Denuvo seems to be Securom 7 ported to 64 bit. I imagine it's taking a while to crack because the reversing tools for 64 bit Windows are still quite inferior to their 32 bit counterparts, and most reversers are stuck in '32 bit mi

   Just a random aside: What's also interesting about Splinter Cell Chaos Theory from a security point of view is that it was one of the hardest games to crack, ever. It was protected with a beefed up version of Starforce 3, and iirc it t

   The name of one of the protectors is 'Themida', not "Themeda". Aside from that, nice article. I wonder how many of the antiviruses complained when you actually tried to execute your packed file? There should be a second

   I believe it's mostly people at Google pushing this feature. I don't think Apple had much of a say in it.

   Towards the end he talks about how the crack works. The crackers simply cracked the copy protection which runs at the beginning of the game. After the cracked copy protection had run, the crack restored the original code, making all the che

    This might sound good on paper, but have you actually tried using a large GWT application daily? I use Google Adwords every day, and it's one slowest and most frustrating web experiences ever. And if Google can't get a GWT applica

    I imagine this sort of reverse engineering is common for malware analysts and people who work in the AV/security industry. Personally I work at a software security shop, where we aim to prevent this sort of reverse engineering. So we a

    Also I believe you could make the object files (before linking) available on your website, and you'd still be fine. If I'm wrong someone please correct me.

    Negative SEO only consistently works on smaller sites with a small amount of backlinks (less than 1000). The idea behind negative SEO is to use tools to build a large amount of spammy links, such that 99% of the link profile of a site is ob

    Sorry, but this is untrue for me. I have Comcast, and if I enable IPv6 from my home in Santa Clara county, I also start seeing large increases in latency and significantly slower download speeds. I haven't bothered posting on the Comca

    We had a similar problem with mobile search ads. The vast majority of clicks we got were misclicks, which is very painful when you're bidding $5+ click. We fixed the issue by putting a -90% bid on mobile ads. Now once every few months

    Looks like they weren't checking the hostname in the certificate. This would allow anyone with a certificate signed by a trusted CA to do a MITM attack on iOS devices. Very very bad vulnerability.

    You're correct. Refreshing the page a couple of times reverts the captcha to the old one with letters. So I guess they keep track of how many times they serve captchas to your ip address in an hour, and if you go over some limit they s

    While it's nice that they're trying to design the captchas to be more user friendly, these new number captchas are quite easy to crack. This might lead to an uptick in spam as recaptcha ocrs become easier to create.
