AION's .PAK files - Unpack tool







First, hello to all the reverse engineering fans out there.



I've got the Korean beta client of this pretty little MMO, AION: The Tower of Eternity, all downloaded (had to download an installer first, then it downloaded the rest of the 2-something gigabytes of files). AION is based on the Far Cry engine, CryENGINE 1 (not the Crysis engine, though there are MMOs planned for that too). Most of it's files are in the .PAK format, but they're not behaving like Far Cry paks. I'm guessing NCsoft has either encrypted them (the PAKs) or changed the hex header of the file (like they did with the .OGG Vorbis files in Lineage 2). Above all, they used Themida to further encrypt the CrySystem.dll file.
managed to get an unpacked .dll, here's the link
Unpack.dll

Another unpacked .dll file can be also be found here

And here's a link to a .pak file from the client:

2012: The Year The Internet Ends

This is of great important to every single Internet user in the world. The Internet as we know it might very soon end. Every significant Internet provider around the globe is currently in talks with access and content providers to transform the internet into a television-like medium: no more freedom, you pay for a small commercial package of sites you can visit and you'll have to pay for seperate subscriptions for every site that's not in the package. Check out this very important video and spread the word to everyone

Again this is truly important to every single one of us and we have to do something about it!!!

The New New Product Development Game

In today’s fast-paced, fiercely competitive world of commercial new product development, speed and flexibility are essential. Companies are increasingly realizing that the old, sequential approach to developing new products simply won’t get the job done. Instead, companies in Japan and the United States are using a holistic method—as in rugby, the ball gets passed within the team as it moves as a unit up the field.

This holistic approach has six characteristics: built-in instability, self-organizing project teams, overlapping development phases, “multilearning,” subtle control, and organizational transfer of learning. The six pieces fit together like a jigsaw puzzle, forming a fast flexible process for new product development. Just as important, the new approach can act as a change agent: it is a vehicle for introducing creative, market-driven ideas and processes into an old, rigid organization.

The rules of the game in new product development are changing. Many companies have discovered that it takes more than the accepted basics of high quality, low cost, and differentiation to excel in today’s competitive market. It also takes speed and flexibility.

This change is reflected in the emphasis companies are placing on new products as a source of new sales and profits. At 3M, for example, products less than five years old account for 25% of sales. A 1981 survey of 700 U.S. companies indicated that new products would account for one-third of all profits in the 1980s, an increase from one-fifth in the 1970s.1

This new emphasis on speed and flexibility calls for a different approach for managing new product development. The traditional sequential or “relay race” approach to product development—exemplified by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s phased program planning (PPP) system—may conflict with the goals of maximum speed and flexibility. Instead, a holistic or “rugby” approach—where a team tries to go the distance as a unit, passing the ball back and forth—may better serve today’s competitive requirements.

Under the old approach, a product development process moved like a relay race, with one group of functional specialists passing the baton to the next group. The project went sequentially from phase to phase: concept development, feasibility testing, product design, development process, pilot production, and final production. Under this method, functions were specialized and segmented: the marketing people examined customer needs and perceptions in developing product concepts; the R&D engineers selected the appropriate design; the production engineers put it into shape; and other functional specialists carried the baton at different stages of the race.

Under the rugby approach, the product development process emerges from the constant interaction of a hand-picked, multidisciplinary team whose members work together from start to finish. Rather than moving in defined, highly structured stages, the process is born out of the team members’ interplay (see Exhibit 1). A group of engineers, for example, may start to design the product (phase three) before all the results of the feasibility tests (phase two) are in. Or the team may be forced to reconsider a decision as a result of later information. The team does not stop then, but engages in iterative experimentation. This goes on in even the latest phases of the development process.




Exhibit 1 illustrates the difference between the traditional, linear approach to product development and the rugby approach. The sequential approach, labeled type A, is typified by the NASA-type PPP system. The overlap approach is represented by type B, where the overlapping occurs only at the border of adjacent phases, and type C, where the overlap extends across several phases. We observed a type B overlap at Fuji-Xerox and a type C overlap at Honda and Canon.

This approach is essential for companies seeking to develop new products quickly and flexibly. The shift from a linear to an integrated approach encourages trial and error and challenges the status quo. It stimulates new kinds of learning and thinking within the organization at different levels and functions. Just as important, this strategy for product development can act as an agent of change for the larger organization. The energy and motivation the effort produces can spread throughout the big company and begin to break down some of the rigidities that have set in over time.

Uplink: To Play "Mr hacker"



A week ago we all know what happened, and perhaps thinking about all the ladies who walk hackers turning around, Ambrosia Software launched Uplink. The idea is that for a while you become a "Mr. Hacker and Cracker", but in 2010 and a superinternet very different from now and more similar to that found on CSI.

In the first part of the game you go into some systems and unauthorized dodge certain challenges, after which - as a good Mr cracker - you have to steal information (anyone said databases?) And sabotage to a couple of companies to complete washing money by removing the traces of crime and making things look an accident. The horse's head is not included.

Uplink is available for OS X 10.3.9 onwards for 30 days as a trial, after which you must cancel U.S. $ 30 (USD $ 13,990) for his license.

A hacker Slips into Microsoft

Microsoft has acknowledged that a hacker had access to its computer system and it is feared that there might be stolen source of some of the products of this company.

Access to it was made possible by a Trojan horse sent by email to an employee of the company who worked from home. It is recognized by most anti-virus, which does not say much in favour of the security system of this company nor Symantec, which allegedly is the one responsible for such services in the corporation known, although it is also possible that outside the worker himself that any breach of security rules.

The author of the facts could be going through the system for quite some time before being detected. After studying the movements of the intruder to see what he was doing decided to cut off access and inform the police.

The incident has caused great excitement in the computer world and especially in environments free software because it fears that could begin to appear programmes based on this code stolen, if indeed it was stolen as speculation. Microsoft, after their investigations had not been assured that any downloaded files from their facilities ...

Will we see a bit Windows emulators for Linux based on this code or Windows systems "Clones"?

5 design errors that easily ruin your blog

shop online blogs buildup
Slide 1: Workshop blogs http://tallerdeblogs.com Unit 3: Election of the platform and # 61548; domain name. Creating and managing our own blog is not just express ourselves. It is also starting to become part of a new citizen journalism that is showing how every day we are being manipulated by less traditional media.

We will see, at this point in the third workshop: # 61551; A. Parties structure of a blog. B. How or on the basis of what criteria, choose the ideal platform to our goal, which is not only the creation but also to maintain the blog. C. Choosing the name of the blog (SlideShare next workshop)
