About this blog

Hacking techniques include penetration testing, network security, reverse cracking, malware analysis, vulnerability exploitation, encryption cracking, social engineering, etc., used to identify and fix security flaws in systems.

// EDB-Note: Compile:   g++ -Wall -pedantic -O2 -std=c++11 -pthread -o dcow 40847.cpp -lutil
// EDB-Note: Recommended way to run:   ./dcow -s    (Will automatically do "echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs")
