That is a new one. But is is only barely beta. He is years behind Olly. That has been the case with linux since 2003.

Re: Keep Calm and Love the Penguin
If not private, what did you Reverse Engineer?
Is it possible to reverse engineer a full OS like Windows in Ollydebug?

Partially. You can step into dll's and windows drivers. Perhaps these latest Olly's can do even more.

Re: Keep Calm and Love the Penguin
No. I knew it in another way:
Hacker - One who breaks in to access data, reverse engineers, etc to play pranks and to test his skills with no bad intentions
Cracker - One who does the same but out of bad intentions from the heart like greed, rage

Re: Keep Calm and Love the Penguin
In the computer security context, a hacker is someone who seeks and exploits weaknesses in a computer system or computer network. Hackers may be motivated by a multitude of reasons, such as profit, protest, or challenge
