After some hassle I finally got my own SVN repository at Google Code. Slowly I will be migrating all my stuff there and say goodbye to free filehosting. Hopefully Google Code won’t fail me.

Also, I decided to rewrite most of my MASM source here in C++, since most of you guys aren’t assembly freak like me and probably C++ is much easier to code than assembly too. (Side note: C/C++ pointer is very much different from assembly and that, have seriously confused me at times. :/)

My SVN repository is available here. Feel free to look around and leave comments here.

I believe most of you have at least heard of VMware, Microsoft Virtual PC, or the recent VirtualBox (http://www.virtualbox.org/) These are virtualization software. They create virtual machine environment (called guest) that runs on your local computer (called host). These software are pretty useful especially when it comes to analyzing malwares or other uses. *ahem*

This is a neat paper about how to detect a VME, and about how to prevent it against detection. Recommended read.
