The slow agony of professional retro-engineers and low-level programmers…
Last march, there was an information that saddened most retro-engineers (aka reversers) and professional developers (at least those developing low-level software such as drivers) : After 20 years of existence, the famous Ring-0 debugger SoftIce had been discontinued.
Sad enough to remember that this was not only the best ring-0 debugger, but also the only one except the Kernel Debugger from Microsoft, that is far less friendly, and only runs under Windows.
Now, it seems that most kernel/drivers developpers have started to switch back to the Kernel Debugger. Being less convenient and unable to load all the excellent plugins that were developped during all those years by famous and good developers/reversers, it is really sad…
