Vmprotect Reverse Engineering ((exclusive)) -
The fluorescent hum of the server room was the only sound Alex could hear, a stark contrast to the screaming fans of his overclocked workstation. On the screen, a chaotic dance of assembly instructions scrolled by. It was 3:00 AM, the witching hour for reverse engineers, and Alex was staring into the abyss of the "Unbreakable."
