Revenge On Reverse Engineering

Posted by Michael Larabel on September 01, 2007

Revenge, a clean-room reverse engineering utility being developed by Oliver McFadden for Radeon graphics cards, is nearing its 1.0 release. This utility is designed for reverse engineering the ATI graphics cards and their binary driver. Oliver is finishing up work on hardware and software identification, a revenge.sh script, and adding more tests/analysis work before releasing it as Revenge 1.0. Already on the road-map for Revenge 1.1 is texture dumping support. You can find Oliver's announcement on his Live Journal.
