Hacker with a focus on Windows binaries. Writing packers is fun. Lord help me if my posts represent my employer (they do not).

Finally saw the finale of The Boys. I don't think it could have ended any other way.
I love furries. Sometimes if you don't charge what you're worth, you get tipped. Made 5x my asking price for this analysis. Didn't do it intentionally, too humble to overcharge people. Feels nice to be appreciated though!
Report sent off to the requester, I wouldn't be surprised if they requested a deeper dive into some stuff since I couldn't get to some parts because my .NET analysis-fu is kind of weak and could use some exercise, but ultimately I think the report is useful for remediation of infection.
Redline stealer is more sophisticated than I knew. The tech involved with unraveling to its packed .NET code was entertainingly formiddable, last time I had this much fun reversing malware was when I was taking apart SmokeLoader.
I have never seen a shellcode payload with such a huge ass fucking nop sled. I think it's to make room for packed code? No idea, it's late.
The one thing I like about steroid infusion treatment for MS-- beside the healing properties-- is the optimism side effects. A role opened up in the Bay Area that's perfect for me and a recruiter is gunning for me for. I think we're gonna be okay.
I've used Claude for a significant project while I'm disabled with an MS attack. While it is impressive, you lose a lot of the joy of coding and the memory retention you would get from coding it yourself. Reviewing diffs is not enough. AI haters win this round.
Paying off medical debt is so bittersweet. It's not an accomplishment, it's an albatross being finally released from your neck. Fuck this country so much,
Disappointed to discover the new show CIA is just coppaganda. Should have figured since apparently Dick Wolf is behind it. Season 2 of The Agency can't come fast enough.
Does anyone know where a furry shitpost drawing is? It features a headshot of a dog with a collar that says "dog," then a dog without a collar that says "naked dog." I worry what might come up if I search Google Images for these search terms.
