How did you get inside my house to take a picture of my computer?

We have a video camera concealed in you humongous "monitor," from which we can view and record all that occurs in your "computer room."

When you are doing RCE stuff in this computer, and you see EAX= FFFFFFFF,

How do you know which of the 128 different EAX you are talking about?

I'm serious

well naides, I think you'd be ok, since ring 3 apps never multiprocess (they only multithread). Usually only ring 0 use multiple processors....

Not to mention that when you are debugging programs in multi-processor environments you will most likely have available to you some kind of information about which processor you are currently looking at in the debug window.

Here's a simple patch to solve all your recent problems then naides:

mov eax, 1
ret


0xf0001

i would say looking for an eax register on such "computers" is the wrong way from the beginning on ....

some of the big boxes do not even have a stack pointer eg - it is all free for
interpretation of the programmer to implement it.

but when the os is running, registers will become their meaning that helps. anyway
dont say i am too serious for the off-topic

btw i like the hp/superdome boxes - they also have this lego module approach - and they are not soo loud and you can go across without getting blown away by all these fans! (try it behind a sun e10000 complex) so think about it before buying the sgi box above ggggggggg so you see the real important things dont care about registers

ahja and prepare to receive 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF in the registers
