I've been accepted to speak about Process Stalking at RECON, a computer security conference being held in Montreal from June 17th through 19th.

Full details and source code for Process Stalking will be released in the coming months.

Updates for IDA Sync, IDA pGRAPH and IDA Function Analyzer have been made available today. The IDA plug-ins have all been ported to compile against the 4.8 SDK. Binaries for IDA Pro 4.8 are also included.

I am also releasing OllyDbg Breakpoint Manager, an OllyDbg plug-in written to address some shortcomings of the built-in breakpoint management functionality. The plug-in provides three main functions- breakpoint exporting, breakpoint importing and automatic breakpoint loading. More information, examples and source code are available on the software releases page and bundled archive.

We started playing a great little multi player game called BZFlag in the office some time ago. It became quickly apparently that I sucked terribly at the game, despite my extensive efforts to shift blame to the fact that I was the only user playing on win32 and had older hardware. While I can't play BZFlag, I can code- and BZFlag is open source. Within a short time I was able to level the playing field. In the spirit of April fools, here are the list of changes I made:

• Stealth tanks appear on radar.
• Disabled color-blindess.

• Color bad flags black.
• Color laser flags red.
• Color guided missiles green.
• Color narrow/burrow flags blue.
• Color shockwave flags yellow.

• Disabled ability for other tanks to cloak on screen.

• Reduced laser reload time.

• Added 25% chance of a good shot missing me.
• Disabled burrow speed handicap.
  • This was detectable so I disabled it.
• Disabled my own shots from killing myself.

• Made my shot velocity slightly faster when packing the shot packet.
  • This appears to have broken my ability to kill others, so I disabled it.
