Anyone know a good place to download an IDA, a good binary exploitation tutorial, and a good script exploitation tutorial?

there better be a good reason you are asking for a disassembly instructions......

I actually need it for a competition my school is in.  They provide us with programs, and tell us what information we generally need, and give us some clue on how to get it.  Since two of the categories are script exploitation and binary exploitation, I assume we need to know that, and one of the big point questions wants us to download an IDA.

IDA is the app.

Recently I bought a new (Windows laptop, old one (Ubuntu) was passed onto wife and old-old one (Windows XP) is in retirement.  Problem is, I had an external HDD primarily used on the WinXP machine that I'm almost certain has a virus on it.  That machine just became a gibbering wreck towards the end of its life.  I felt reasonably safe accessing the HDD from the Ubuntu machine but now I want to get at some files from a Win8 machine I'm too scared to even bring the USB cable into the same room.

So, two questions; what's the safest way to get at those files?  and what's the cheapest way to get at those files?

I'm thinking I really need to invest in a virus checker, but I don't really want to pay continuously for one.

ClamAV is a Linux anti-virus, if you want to take a crack at it from that angle.

Otherwise, free AVs like Avast or MSE would probably work.

It should be fine to plug in to Win 8 and run a virus scan in it.  Just dont run any exe files or let it "autorun" anything from it if asked.

Any modern antivirus you installed in Win 8 will stop any ancient viruses left on it from ages ago.

Thanks for the advice, guys.  Will look into those free ones.  Good point about modern virus checker vs old virus

Is there any tool that I can use to disable some of the right-click menu stuff in Windows? It's starting to get cluttered, and that's just stuff from necessities like my graphics card software.

I know I can go right in the registry and do it, but I don't really want to do that.

Quick google found this: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/how-to-clean-up-your-messy-windows-context-menu/

First half is in the registry, the second half is using applications to disable but not entirely remove them, (or so I gathered from a quick perusal).

You could download autoruns from Microsoft.

In the "Explorer" tab everything in the context menu is listed and you are able to untick them to remove them.

Just make sure you remove the correct things lol.

Hey, I was in that! You should totally PM me and tell me how you did.

Got a problem with my internet connection. Yes, I've been complaining about it for awhile. Here's what I know:

I have good speed, I've seen it go up to 1Mbit/s before and maybe faster than that, but usually it's in the 200kbit/s-400kbit/s range. It generally has a good signal, Windows consistently having 4 of 5 bars, and the program that came with my wireless card shows 70%-80% or better.

The problem is, every minute or so, it just stops. Packets stop transmitting, as pinging the router's IP address(or anywhere else but my own IP adress) times out(ping times are otherwise excellent). I'm not sure if this an issue with the router I'm connected to, or something in between. I've looked up similar issues with packet loss like this, but nothing that was suggested has worked.

It's... acceptable for web browsing, but not at all for gaming(Shores of Hazeron is the only one that works well enough, but that's because SoH lags worse than I do). I sometimes have to refresh a web page, and videos are a little problematic, though.

how much ping are you getting?

[Akura]

Result of 100 pings to my router's IP:
Most round-trip times were between about 1-5 milliseconds. The first 4 pings timed out, probably at the end of one of these periods of packet loss, and one ping took 1500ms round-trip. Average was 18ms, but that's probably due to that one 1500ms pingtime.

Result of 100 pings to google.com:
No packet loss this time. Minimum time, 12ms, maximum 1300ms(again one ping), average was around 20ms.

Is this a PC with an integrated wireless adapter, a laptop with the same, or something with an actual network card?

Does the problem happen on anyone else's PC that connects through that router, or just your's?
