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.

Every once in a while I discover an answer I have not yet put on my blog, especially as related answer are always interesting.

When Archive.Today (and their .fo/.is.li/.md/.ph/.vn) look down; check your DNS
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/05/19
The [Wayback] Archive Today blog has not been updated for more than a year now*, and this looks to coincide with up-time issues.
Part of the inability to save pages in Archive.Today (or any of their other domains) or access them can have to do with DNS issues, actually confirmed by the linked Wikipedia article. There are many links on them, some are these reddit threads:
- [Wayback/Archive] archive.today has been down for several days : DataHoarder
- [Wayback/Archive] Cloudflare DNS blocking archive.is? : DataHoarder
- [Wayback/Archive] Al-Terego comments on Archive.ph (Webpage archive) as site is unfortunately dead or only temporarily unavailable? I have been trying to load the page for days, but the result is always “Unable to reach the site.”
- Note the problem archiving the Archive Today blog into the Wayback Machine isn’t always successful. When trying around the moments that Archive Today could not archive pages, the Wayback Machine could not find the Archive Today blog in their DNS, see the the picture below.
The really cool thing is that during after the Internet Archive hack (and therefore Wayback Machine downtime), Archive Today held up pretty much OK, so not all is bad (:
Anyway Archive Today archival started to work again after some 4 hours of problems, and I got dragged into other work, so there was no chance to investigate further. Hopefully another day… or preferably: hopefully they stay up.

Some links on the Apple IIc Plus (Apple IIc + on the boot screen) likely the rarest from the Apple II series
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/05/16
A while ago I bumped into this video about likely the rarest model in the Apple II series: the Apple IIc Plus:
[Wayback/Archive] Apple IIc Plus – the rarest and fastest Apple II! – YouTube
Returning to one of my favorite subjects – the Apple II – I decide to finally repair a broken Apple IIc Plus gifted to me a little more than a year ago. This machine was the final true hardware revision to the Apple II line, coming in 1988, and the last standalone machine in the line released. It was also the fastest, with a 4Mhz CPU (vs. 1Mhz in most other Apple II’s, and 2.6Mhz in the IIGS). But it was a problematic machine for Apple, with a concept that had been watered down to the point of, well, pointlessness.
The market wanted it even less than it wanted the original IIc (which was my first computer – the one in the thumbnail is my original machine). Still, it is an interesting computer for its accelerated CPU, and its somewhat anachronistic nature at the time of its launch.
It has a cool demo of Flight Simulator II demo mode (which back in those days crashing the plane – demo modes luckily improved from there :) at both 1 Mhz and 4 Mhz. It indeed is not smooth, but a lot faster.
The problem back in those days with acceleration is it would not just improve render speed, but also increase clock time speed. It made most games almost impossible to play in accelerated mode.
If I ever get one, I need to replace the 110V power supply with a 240V/110V auto-switching one as per [Wayback/Archive] IIc + 240v Power:

The video is on the walled garden called Instagram as well, but since I intentionally don’t have an account there accessing is hard. Anyway, it is at: [WaybackSave/Archive] Instagram: „Cyber Gangsta’s Paradise“ feiert Premiere 🎶🎬.
In the past, picuki was an alternative. Now it fails for instagram content. [Wayback/Archive] Instagram Reels Download with Reels Downloader got me to [Wayback/Archive] cdninstagram, which in the end worked.
Transcript (via Google, typos all mine), song-text (from video description), and of course the credits:

Yes, you can globally block JavaScript and enablpe per-site, but you block Bookmarklets too
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/05/16
Trying to trim down excessive CPU usage of my web browsers, and lessen the risk of intrusion, I experimented with globally disabling JavaScript and only enabling it on sites where it adds value to me.
That is possible (see below), but immediately showed a big side effect: Bookmarklets will not work on sites that have JavaScript disabled.
Disabling JavaScript globally only allows Bookmarklets on sites where you have enabled JavaScript. Not the situation I hoped for (:
I’ll try it for a while though.
