I should mention (down here at the bottom of the email where hopefully no-one from VIA is going to notice :) ), that I did quite a bit of rummaging around inside VIA's "filter driver" for windows. This driver (which you can get from their website) basically contains a bunch of workarounds for various hardware problems. It checks your hardware against a list of PCI ids and turns on various hacks depending on what you have. I was only concerned about the hardware I had at that time, but it seems clear to me that one way to get better support for VIA hardware would be to implement those hacks in linux. I used to have a nicely annotated decompilation at one point...
Any information you can send along these lines will be gratefully appreciated.
Hi Alan, I can't find the file, so I guess I will have to do it all again :) This is not such a bad thing because I'm sure they have put a lot more fixes in since I last looked.
All the best,
Duncan.
Could anyone who is doing reverse engineering, please look at my http://revenge.berlios.de site, and read some of the "User guide" I have there, and then provide any new ideas they think would help.
I am hoping to be able to get to a stage where one throws an executable or a lib at it, and you get back source code in C at first, then maybe C++.
The source code one gets back will not be the same as the original source code, but it will be a lot more readable than the output of objdump!
I don't have any actual code yet, but the more ideas I have at the start of a project the better.
Cheers James
