Advanced Metamorphic Techniques in Computer Viruses by Philippe Beaucamps

Posted in Learning on August 26th, 2010 by David Negreira

Philippe Beaucamps as stated on the intro is a researcher at Virology and Cryptology Lab of the École Supérieure et d’Application des Transmissions (Army Signals Academy), Rennes, France. This is a really a quite nice description on how the advanced techniques of polymorphism and metamorphism works as well as the techniques used to identify them. A must read even if you are not into coding/security.
Not that i am a coder myself but it is quite interesting to see and understand on how really advanced virus techniques works.

You can read the article here. Enjoy!

Quantum theory basic overview

Posted in Learning on August 25th, 2010 by David Negreira

Just found this site explaining on how quantum physics works, the next big thing in computer communications and encryption. Quite handy!

I just got curious about this quantum thingy after reading this article and finding myself not knowing nothing about the “quantum” buzzword. :-) Enjoy!

Reality check – I

Posted in Life on August 24th, 2010 by David Negreira

What does it matter?

You work, you loose your time, you gain money.

Money can buy you food, tickets, drugs, clothes.

Time can buy you friends, achievements, life itself…

For the first time i think that i found the balance between both! I can earn good money without much stress, have more time to me and to my loved ones (unfortunately far away for now due to my choices…) but i could earn a lot more. I could technically do something more challenging, grow in a professional level.  But that would take me more time from myself, i could not buy life or friends or any out of professional achievements. On the other side i could pay my own house more quickly, travel more… My life from maybe around two or three years ago until now is made of constant changes, constant trying of getting up in the professional level. Despite the fact that i  am growing technically and i have been gaining a lot of knowledge in the last years, i feel that part of my life is gone by being part of the machine and not being able to think a little bit about it. Too late? I think not. Big changes have come and more will come with time, lets see on how things go…

I can change my opinion tomorrow, gather new thoughts or maybe just go berserk and drive my bike into a tram, who knows… More reality checks will come… If i have time to do them :)

First post!
