    void EzRegQu(int user, const char* path, const char* keyname, char* buffer) { HKEY hkey; DWORD dword; dword = sizeof(buffer); if (user == 1) RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,path,0,KEY_ALL_ACCESS,&hkey); else if (user == 2) RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER,path,0,KEY_ALL_ACCESS,&hkey); else if (user == 3) RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT,path,0,KEY_ALL_ACCESS,&hkey); RegQueryValueEx(hkey,keyname,NULL,NULL,(LPBYTE)buffer,&dword); RegCloseKey(hkey); } I could've sworn this was working before, but.... it's not setting buffer to anything... why not?

    I'm sure most of you have heard of "rootkits". They've been around forever for Linux/UNIX (as a linux/unix box is more likely to be a dedicated server), but are becoming increasingly popular on Windows to hide files/processes from things like anti-virus/spyware scanners. I haven't done any really in-depth research about how things like Punkbuster and VAC work, but I can safely guess that they have to work using client-side Win32 API functions. :shifty: Say you wrote a program to modify every possible Win32 API function that can find/open a handle to an existing process so that it can NEVER attach to randomhack.exe, (in theory) there is NO way that any sort of c…

    Okay. I want to get started on assembler, but before I begin, I'd like to know a few things first. I've read that assembler has to be coded to be chip specific to the processor (I'm guessing it's standardized now, but I'd like to double-check.). I'd also like to know if Assembly is still actually used for any programs today, or if almost everyone has moved to a higher language. Also, if anyone has a good tutorial that can get me started on it, it would be much appreciated.
