Determine a web site's topology

Have you ever wondered what kind of framwork or tools a particular web site is using? Well - there lots of tools out there that you can use to detect which framework or widgets are used by a website but the one I have found the most handy is - http://builtwith.com/. Very neat and gives you a good idea of what tools a web site is based upon.

Decompiling Delphi - 3

I came across this on delphi.about.com web site and thought it useful to add it a a reference here. continued from part two The art of reverse engineering has traditionally been the land of technical wizards, familiar with assembly language and debuggers. Several Delphi decompilers have appeared that allow anybody, even with limited technical knowledge, to reverse engineer most Delphi executable files. If you are interested in reverse engineering Delphi programs I suggest you to take a look at the following few "decompilers": IDR (Interactive Delphi Reconstructor) A decompiler of executable files (EXE) and dynamic libraries (DLL), written in Delphi and executed in Windows32 environment. Final project goal is development of the program capable to restore the most part of initial Delphi source codes from the compiled file but IDR, as well as others Delphi decompilers, cannot do it yet. Nevertheless, IDR is in a status considerably to facilitate such process. In co...

Decompiling Delphi - 2

I came across this on delphi.about.com web site and thought it useful to add it a a reference here. continued from part one For the moment, Borland does not offer any product capable of decompiling an executable (.exe) file or the "Delphi compiled unit" (.dcu) back to the original source code (.pas). Delphi compiled unit: DCU When a Delphi project is compiled or run a compiled unit (.pas) file is created. By default the compiled version of each unit is stored in a separate binary-format file with the same name as the unit file, but with the extension .DCU. For example unit1.dcu contains the code and data declared in the unit1.pas file. This means that if you have someones, for example, component compiled source all you have to do is to reverse it and get the code. Wrong. The DCU file format is undocumented (proprietary format) and may change from version to version. After the compiler: Delphi Reverse Engineering If you would like to try to decompile a Delphi e...

Artificial Intelligence, Oxymoron and Natural Intelligence

I posted this question to a couple of online AI engines and to my surprise, none came up with the correct anwser. This is the question - "Two Americans were crossing a bridge on a bright summer morning, one was the father of the other and the other wasn't the son. So, what was their relationship?" This is a classic IQ question - supposedly, employed by Microsoft in the easrly 90s in the recruitment of top talent for its work pool. Essentially, this is a mis-direction fixation challenge. On the surface - it is a fairly straight forward question with the requisite hint at solving it. For whatever reason, most people asked this question are always fixated on the "father and son" narative, which in reality - is the hint to solving the question, but always end up getting it wrong. My point really is - the so called AI engines got the answer to the question wrong as well. The real poser is - should we still be referring to the encompassing ecosystem...
