some of you might have noticed that the links in the tutorials section are slowly dying with time. especially the buffer overflows part. now this is just a thought but maybe we could list some of our most helpful tuts in this thread, as the admns haven't responded to my requests. so let me be the first to append a new tutorial. i thought this was nicely set out and, seeing as it's a visual step-by-step guide, great to kick off with.

Yea, this forum is dead in the water! Nobody hangs out around here anymore, I've been trying to get help with a crackit
and can't get anything thru PM's or on IRC.......I'm just going to delete my account and blow this place off!!
the those in charge----good luck convincing people to stay around here!

The forum's are not dead. Yes some posts may never get replies, but others do. You can try the IRC as some people still are there, just do not bother busy admins

Busy ?
I haven't seen any admin on the site for weeks, or months =).

I'll leave too, but for entirely different reasons.

don't be strangers people, those who know how come visit.

Maybe leave a signature...

well, the thread was started with good intent - to both allow the users to learn and teach (to quote occassus) and to give the admins a breather. the choice is still ours, so if we feel like contributing we should still do so. it still seems ironic how some users have emailed me saying that the post was a good idea, yet absolutely noone contributed.

For anyone new to challenge sites a nice list of useful tools etc

The site below is mainly about win32 reversing, but you will also find some tutorials about coding (didnt read them)
Once there were great flash-tutorials from Lena151, covering reversing with ollydbg for beginners. (cant find 'em anymore)
Maybe you will still find them somewhere, and if not... you might pm

anybody have any ideas on what these two b64 encoded strings represent? not enough time to play with this atm to try and figure it out.
