Sought info on Code? Google codesearch

Hi malware fighters,

There is a new Google Search Service for Software Makers and Malware Fighters alike:
http://www.google.com/codesearch

Good to know its around,

Can you give us an example for what using it… ?
I mean, seems ok, just I can’t find - in my stupidity - a use for me… :-[

Hi Tech,

Just use your imagination. You have some code and you want to analyze it. Or some malware code where you want to compare it. I can imagine that it is not of use to the average computer user. A malware analyzer has a wealth for comparison. But I am sure our adversaries will flock to for the riches found there. As you know that script is the main vector of malware per se, the use of it can be well imagined. Where are the “tinkerers”, “reversers”, “searchers” of old, is this dying out with my generations?

I'm even older than you but, I have other things that tickle my fancy.... ;D ;D

Interesting … though right now, I can’t think of a good use of this for me. But you never know. I bookmarked it with my other search links. :slight_smile:


Hi Charkley,

Then book this one as well, very good searchlink, if you are into code or script or whatever:

Hi Mac,

As it is with all tools, you can use them for good and for evil. White could not exists if there was not black.
