Hi malware fighters,

A lot of these tools like sam editors and other tools went because Microsoft bought the firms (Winternals and Sysinternals) that provided them. There are other sites to get them, but that could be risky: http://www.keshzone.com/2007/10/winternals-erd-commander-2005-ready-for.html
Sometimes you need them for system recovery, and then they are no longer available as so-called “risk tools” in the hands of malcreants. You can use a hammer to build, and you can use it to destroy.
