I used gdbpeda, which is similar to pwndbg. There is a learning curve. But if you like GDB, check out radare2. It's the GDB of disassemblers :)

Looks very much like a Zachtronics game (which is a good thing!) Plus C-64 nostalgia. I'm sold. Looking forward to trying it.

I can think of many - I have taken several starting since 2013. The tricky thing is that Coursera classes seem to get merged, re-mashed or otherwise re-branded. And as such only one currently is listed in my "Completed" courses

This is specifically to the OP, but also others that have generalized anxiety. Counseling can be very helpful and hopefully many can support remote sessions. From personally speaking, what I also have found has helped: - trying to be helpf

Thanks for sharing the journal articles. According to [1], on January 31, 2020 US had 6 cases of Covid-19. And according to several news sites, as of March 2, 2020, there are 101 cases. If I did the math correctly, that seems to be doubli

There's a challenge in HackVent that involves unicode: http://whale.hacking-lab.com:8881/ I'm not sure if the solution is unicode collisions like in the article - still trying to solve it...

Thanks for sharing your experience. Could please describe more about subconscious emotional healing techniques? How did you learn about it and is it a solitary practice or one that is guided by a professional?

For those not initiated, this looks like reverse engineering challenges. How far have folks gotten? I'm on Challenge 3.

I got into these type of puzzles with Picross DS (on the Nintendo DS). I also recommend: https://www.hanjie-star.com/ And for fans of Konami games, this app is fun too: https://www.konami.com/games/us&

I played HackVent ( https://www.hacking-lab.com ) in December 2018 and it was a lot of fun. The same site also does HackyEaster which is coming up in a couple of months. To find CTFs, https://ctftime.org/ is good

Maybe I missed it in the article, do the four seasons start the same time every year? I assume they are adjusted, especially with Sol coming in the middle of Summer.

Play CTF! A Great Way to Learn Hacking by LiveOverflow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfjV8XukxO8 This talk is less technical than his other videos, but really catches the spirit of discovery, failure and learning.

That happened to me as well. Try opening the page in a private Firefox window. That worked for me.

For me, because it is interesting. It is neat to understand how things work at a lower-level. Knowing assembly also helps out when doing capture the flag challenges, specifically reverse engineering and binary exploitation.

It's a tricky art. It's helpful to learn some of the basics such as how variables are passed to a function on the stack for x86 or as registers with x64. Beyond that it takes practice. Things that have helped me are writing c cod

+1 for Hopper and BinaryNinja. Radare2 by itself has a small learning curve, but it is well worth it. It's usually the first dissassembler I turn to. Also helpful for dynamic analysis is GDB +PEDA. For some good intros for binary expl

Thanks for sharing - I did not know about ncdu. I typically do a series of "du -s -h * | sort -h" and this simplifies things.
