Three in a row … LS wins!
Just kidding. … but if you didn’t notice, that is the 3rd article in a row dealing with LS. Apparently “defiance” got a job at Lavasoft. Congratulations, “defiance”. However, “defiance”, I think your Swedish is fairly bad for a Swede … Continue reading

Too sad … cannot beta-test my “favorite” application
When trying to register for the public beta of Ad-Aware 2007 I was amazed the server actually told me … quote: Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Too many connections in /downloads/data/www/htdocs/lavasoft/public_html/support/securitycenter/config_beta_application.php on line 3 Warning: mysql_select_db() [function.mysql-select-db]: Access denied for user ‘www’@’localhost’ … Continue reading

Updates in the IDA SDK 5.1 …
Since it is always exciting to find new features, I thought it would be good to put up a list of the changes introduced into the IDA SDK since version 5.0! This should allow all plugin writers to get a … Continue reading
American spelling only, please!
Today I had a good laugh when I visited this page and the accompanying list of rules (or “commandments” :mrgreen:). Despite the bias in this so-called “encyclopedia” whose only purpose is to replace the oh-so-biased Wikipedia there are some really … Continue reading

Eeek, a subtle bug in beta 6 of DDKBUILD.CMD
Sorry fellows, please bear with me. The last version of the DDKBUILD.CMD script misbehaves if you set a variable inside the pre/post-build scripts and expect that variable to propagate beyond the script’s execution. Thanks to my colleague Kristmundur here at … Continue reading

NT Shell Scripts vs. Batch Scripts
Yesterday I posted a script in the F-Prot support forum. Many people think that .cmd files (such as DDKBUILD.CMD) are no more than renamed batch files. The trick employed in the posted script would not be possible using normal batch … Continue reading
