Hello to the eXeTools community. I just wanted to introduce myself and give an enormous "thank you" for the opportunity to be a member here after many years of being an outside observer of the forum. Additionally, I want to say thank you to all of the individuals who have spent so much time and effort making this the best RCE forum on the internet.
Moving on to the introduction... I am a male in my late 20s and I live great in the great, although sadly screwed up at present, nation of the USA. Since I was about 10 years old I have been interested in programming (VB in the earliest days... yuck...), hardware modding (I was that kid that installed modchips in all his friends consoles), building custom gaming rigs, and general computer security.
In more recent times (roughly last decade or perhaps a little further back), I became much more interested in learning legitimate reversing skills rather than just being another script kiddy (we've all been there... right?). Initially started learning OllyDbg and in more recent years moved on to IDA and WinDbg. On the programming side, I have done serious dabbling in C++ and ASM, but I am by no means proficient in either. The only programming languages I would call myself proficient in are C# and Python (perhaps Ruby too... although not by choice... I had to use Metasploit professionally) which I have used a lot in past and current professions.
After working in the security industry for years, mostly as a security researcher doing bug hunting and writing exploits, I decided to go back to school and get my bachelor's degree in Computer Information Systems. Since then I have returned to the security industry and have continued my career in that field.
With all of that out of the way, which I doubt anyone actually cares about or will even read, I mostly just want to say I am happy to be here and be a part of the community. I am an easily approachable person and would be happy to help anyone or share my skills with others who do not have the same skill set as myself. I hope to find others in the community who will help me learn about topics that I don't have a lot of experience in (for example, unpacking has just never been a strong point for me... I definitely need to work on improving my skills in that area).
Finally, as an initial offering, or rather a show of gratitude for accepting me into your community, I will soon be posting a keygen (including a very well commented source) that I recently wrote (and have not shared with anyone) for a piece of virtualization software that is as-of-now publicly uncracked. As soon as I'm done cleaning up the code I will post it. I will post the Python source which is what I originally wrote it in, plus the C++ binary that I later converted the Python to (I can release the C++ source if anyone wants it... I just thought the Python source would be easier for people to learn from).
