Asm Compiler?

I need an asm with a good IDE, and active community. Please don’t redirect me to another language, as I have already learned C++. To advance my RE and debugging skills I want to learn how to create programs in ASM.

Well, in the world of today, there’s very little point in creating complete programs in assembler – the days when this was practiced are long gone.

Only blocks of code that require extreme optimizations are written in assembler today, like pieces of hardware drivers, advanced cryptography and few other very specialized applications.

That said, the only thing you really need to compile assembly modules on Windows is MASM:

On UNIX, GNU Assembler (GAS) does the job perfectly.

As far as debugging goes, Microsoft Visual Studio has always supported assembler-level debugging that is enough for basic reverse engineering.

And if that’s not enough, and you’re interested in heavy weaponry, IDA Pro Disassembler is the utlimate professional-grade tool ( http://www.hex-rays.com/idapro/ ).

Cheap Personal Training Certifications


Where should I get my personal training certification?

The University of South Florida offers an online program for personal training and it’s $259 per course (5 course to become certified) Can’t I just order study materials and take the certification exam on my own and it be cheaper? Does anyone know if there are any differences in the two certificates? They look the same to me but doing it on my own would be WAY cheaper. Thanks for any advice in this matter.

I would stay away from the online certifications because most of them aren’t accredited. Look into the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). The are the most recognized certifications available. If you are looking to work at a gym then just having one or both of these, you can almost guarantee getting hired. Both of them offer home study courses and you go to a testing site to take the certification exam. They also offer workshops that you can attend to prepare for the exam.

My first certification was from ACSM and I got job offers from 4 different gyms without even having hands-on experience. As far as picking which gym to work at, don’t take the first offer that comes around. If you have anymore questions, feel free to drop me a line. Good luck!

Assembler Ide


Programming in BASIC question please…?

I’ve written a BASIC source code and i wanna assemble it now. I have FreeBASIC 32-BIT compiler for DOS/Windows but i don’t know how to compile. I’ve written the code on notepad already… how do I then assemble this?

The assembler opens with Command Prompt and has a default directory: C:Program FilesFreeBASIC, and its not an IDE.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

I just wrote a simple .bas file and then compiled it from the command line like this:

fbc hello.bas

fbc is the FreeBASIC compiler, and hello.bas is the simple basic file I made for this test. The compiler created an executable called ‘hello’ and it worked :)

fbc can take many more complex parameters, but for most programs the simple usage is what you need. Most compilers work like this. Consult the fbc documentation for more. I hope I helped you (I never used FreeBASIC myself).
