Writing Crazy, Amazing Bit Rot
Tuesday, March 9, 2010 at 4:48PM It's true what they say - if you leave software unattended the bits rot and strange things start going wrong. ;)
If you have tried to use any of the software tools under the Tools and Software section on anything later than Windows XP, I apologize. They were last looked at some years ago and there has been some incredible bit rot. Some work on Windows 7 and Vista, and others don't. The raw sockets and packet level tools need the most care and attention, it seems.
Well, perhaps it is fairer to say that Microsoft operating system API's and configurations have seen some drift over the past years and that I was not keeping up. :| Darn me for wanting some free time!
In any case, I'm in the process of picking out the rotten bits, patching, fixing, and generally rehabilitating those thngs. Don't be surprised if I just retire one or two [raw sockets are so passé when we can use (Win)PCap ].
Stay tuned!
