Exetools and exe-scene

[quosego]

I thought I had a query about what you think could be the next big thing in exe-scene. Well, maybe it was deleted due to inappropriate discussion.

Yeah saw that question as well, found it quite appropiate and interesting.
But honestly it's hard to say.. Imho to up the ante they have to go hardware.
There's not much left in x86..

There are less people into hardware hacking than RE, so there's some gain there.. But well if they go hardware RE goes hardware as well.. So it should be a nice new round in the battle between DRM and crackers.

However I doubt it's feasible, no sane person would give up the free computer model and turn them into restrictive consoles.
