Not what you asked, but I pirated a software because it could only run on one machine. For my second computer they wanted me to buy another license… Unacceptable.

What about mycroft?

That’s what they say, but I prefer to not send any info if I can.

Some company bought it and they’re collecting “anonymous” data. But since it’s open source you just get one of its forks.

Audacity before it became spyware. Shotcut is FOSS and cross platform, it’s for videos but it will also work for trimming audio.

If someone is on the ledge we need to pull them back, not push.

Oh yeah… Forgot about those. I moved to hardware 2FA…

👍

People still use sms?

You can turn off data collection in Firefox

You can block the communication with a firewall rules. Is there something different with solidworks?

Thanks.

Not yet, it’s on my list though.

I’ll check that out. Thanks.

If I manage to do this, would you guys want a writeup or something? (the hacking/re instances are pretty much dead…)

Thanks for replying. I want to start with something easier.

Thanks.

First I learned how to program in c (recently I learned c++). Then I learned how to read assembly, how pc memory works, what is dynamic and static linking, what are vtables, and for debugging I learned how to use tools like ghidra, Detect It Easy, xdbg, etc…

Learned about compression, un/packing, dll injection, anti-debug methods.

Also did some simple game hacking, nothing fancy.

It’s not all but I can’t write everything here… I don’t know any good RE courses (maybe someone else here can share).

I also read a lot of writeups on reddit from r/ReverseEngineering and r/REGames
