I made a lame gdbserver for basic remote debugging old 32bits exes on old windows versions like windows 98/XP. works with binary ninja's "GDP RSP" adapter. probably nobody needs this but me, but now it exists, so there. :) github.com/robert-yates/g…

I wrote a thing. if you are interested in obfuscation/de-obfuscation and compilers, but perhaps don't have a tangible experience with it, then i hope this story will be interesting to you and teach a few things along the way (-:
