I joined back in 2002, I can't believe it's been this long.
I've learned a lot from this forum, and I helped as much as I could.
Worst memory is when I got demoted to friend after new rules were implemented. Did not contribute much since then.
Anyway, time flies indeed...

25+ years passed since I read some +ORC and Fravia and CrackZ tutorials.

At that time, exetools provided some tools downloading pages and there was a ftp server ever.

Twenty years have slipped by, and what was once a vibrant community of skilled individuals sharing knowledge has devolved into a cesspool of opportunism. The reversing forums, once bustling with passionate experts eager to dissect and understand the intricacies of software and hardware, are now overrun by a horde of money-hungry amateurs.

It’s infuriating to witness the decline of genuine talent, replaced by a relentless pursuit of profit.

Gone are the days when members engaged in thoughtful discussions, exchanging ideas and honing their craft. Now, the focus is solely on monetizing every scrap of knowledge. The forums have become echo chambers for those who care little for the art of reversing and everything for the quick buck. It’s a disgrace! The few skilled individuals left are drowned out by the noise of self-proclaimed “experts” peddling half-baked solutions and overpriced services.

This shift reflects a broader societal decay, where integrity and passion are sacrificed at the altar of greed. The community that once thrived on collaboration and innovation is now a shadow of its former self, a grim reminder of what happens when the pursuit of knowledge is overshadowed by the insatiable desire for wealth. It’s time to wake up and reclaim the spirit of true craftsmanship before it’s too late!

Saw this post and thought I just have to login and see when I joined ExeTools.

Golden days they were ;-), greetings to everyone then and now.

Edit: turns out it was 20 years ago.....

Havent been an active member of EXETOOLS sadly, but I do remember the site since the days I´ve been hanging out in IRC Channels trying to study tutorials on how to crack. Anyone remember these channels? Some scene guys hung out there incognito too.

I still remember Armadillo, which I was able to deprotect using a tutorial. Never understood it fully though.

Great times!

Yes. Could see some of the old timers!!

It has been a long long time! Missing some of the legends!

RIP to all those who have reached the gates of heaven!

Without the contribution, the scene would not have been what it is today!

It takes a lot of effort and grit to stand-up to what one believes in!

And for spreading the learnt knowledge and effort to all those who were willing to learn and dedicate their time!

Long live friends!

I started with SoftICE, Hiew 6.83 and W32Dasm Patch - Bratalarm. They are interesting.
