Packed And Streamed Variables

Sometimes a picture explains alot more than text. I needed a way to send structured (nested) variables over network as streams of bytes, so I decided to go for blocks that can nest, and quickly implemented this (10 mins). Its a bit like binary xml I guess :)

So, ACTA, SEPA and what they are not all called, prevent me from circumventing any reverse engineering protections and also any copy protection? So loading my DVD in my player, which loads it into its memory for playing, is actually illegal? Or cant I actually just copy any digital code, sell it for less and claim mine, just add a little protection and the original owner cant legally bypass it and proof its stolen? Does it help to delay research into critical infrastructure, just because I could really find out how it works? sometimes...

5 hours in the making, using custom roms, adb only and this bricked smartbook surfer tablet lives again! I guess I saved it from the trash bin, the batterys are dead, but as you see, even the yt app works! Id call this a successful repair, lets hope my client is happy :P

I cant count the many ways you can use this. Its pretty much a portable, anonymous, ssl and tor using, undectable and firewallproof server, you can set up at home. Take a bunch of these vms, a few home pcs with inet connection and you can host your own site for pretty much free! (just thinking about all the free wlan spots, but energy is still not free :P)

Also learned a SH!TLOAD of stuff on the way, including usb trace, adb shell fun, phone states, boot order, partition layout, linux commands in general and damn im reliefed I didnt bricked this (before fully working stock) 700 bucks phone, which isnt even mine!^^
