Full thread at [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @cyb3rops on Thread Reader App

Some interesting responses to the original tweet, hence me saving it.

oocities: Geocities Archive Geocities Mirror / The 90s Archive (1990s 2000s nineties) / The Early web

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/05/23

If I ever need old Geocities material then I should check back at oocities and other archival efforts as they have archived a truckload of it and (unlike the the Archive.org geocities arvhive) are indexed by public search engines.

Their archive home page is [Wayback/Archive] Geocities Archive Geocities Mirror / The 90s Archive (1990s 2000s nineties) / The Early web of which I quote a few bits:

  • Special Thanks goes to all the editors and webmasters who made this project alive by updating their old links every day
    from * geocities.com/*
    to *.oocities.com/*
  • oocities.com/org, geocities.ws, reocities.com, internetarchaeology.org, webcitation.org, deletedcity.net

Adding some domains from Yahoo! GeoCities: Archiving efforts – Wikipedia, these are publicly indexed archival sites that have parts of old Geocities content (part of which might be gone by the time you read this: web sites and their content become increasingly ephemeral):

Electronic Basics by GreatScott! – YouTube

[Wayback/Archive] Electronic Basics by GreatScott! – YouTube

At the time of writing these were some 60 videos each 5-15 minutes long in reversed order (#1 at the bottom, at the top).

This means it is about 10 hours of watching time well worth it.

Online .NET source code browsers for both .NET Framework and .NET Core

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/05/22

I used these .NET Source Browsers quite few times over the last decade, first for the .NET Framework and later for .NET Core (now called .NET, sometimes .NET Runtime) as well, but forgot to blog about them, so now that I discovered there is one for the Roslyn Compiler Platform as well, let’s list them all:

It was introduced as [Wayback/Archive] referencesource-beta.microsoft.com by [Wayback/Archive] A new look for .NET Reference Source – .NET Blog which explains how to use it for browsing (on-line and off-line), Visual Studio integration, debugging, and more. In about a month however it got out of beta and became the primary as it functioned so well (you can verify this while browsing through the 2014 Wayback links).

All are powered by [Wayback/Archive] KirillOsenkov/SourceBrowser:

Debugging Win32 binaries in Ghidra via Wine

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/05/20

For my link archive: [Wayback/Archive] Debugging Win32 binaries in Ghidra via Wine

[Wayback/Archive] Ghidra is a cross-platform reverse-engineering and binary analysis tool, with recent versions including support for dynamic analysis. I want to try using it as a replacement for IDA Pro in reverse-engineering of Win32 binaries, but hit bugs related to address space detection when running gdbserver with Wine ([Wayback/Archive] ghidra#4534).

This post contains custom GDB commands that allow Ghidra to query the Linux process ID and memory maps of a Win32 target process running in 32-bit Wine on a 64-bit Linux host.

Via [Wayback/Archive] Ptrace Security GmbH on Twitter: “Debugging Win32 binaries in Ghidra via Wine #Pentesting #Debugging #CyberSecurity #Infosec”.
