Woodmann Archive
As you know, Woodmanns forum is frozen. Last week, I forgot to download the latest/last archives of Woodmann in these 2 topics:
http://www.woodmann.com/forum/showthread.php?15712-So-*ahem*-where-can-I-download-Archives-of-the-Forum http://www.woodmann.com/forum/showthread.php?15713-Updated-searchable-CHM-file-of-Forum-archives and now they're gone. Could someone give us a mirror of them :) ? Thank you. |
It seems that Woodmann forum administrators see my request, they reopen the forum and make the archive available now:
http://woodmann.com/woodmann%20stuff%202.rar http://woodmann.com/kayaker/chmfile/RCEArchive_May1_2016.zip http://woodmann.com/kayaker/chmfile/RCEArchive_Jan1_2013.zip |
What are the contents of "woodmann stuff 2.rar" (1 GB)?
|
Folks,
I've created torrent file for these archives just to reduce the load on the server. Feel free to use them. Torrent links are: http://burnbit.com/torrent/477049/woodmann_stuff_2_rar http://burnbit.com/torrent/477051/RC..._Jan1_2013_zip http://burnbit.com/torrent/477050/RC..._May1_2016_zip Make it count! Thanks. |
These links are dead, any chance for a refresh of the torrents? I managed to find the 'stuff' torrent file elsewhere, but it was dead.
Also, if anyone knows what happened to the woodmann forums, I'd be interested to know. It sounds like they shutdown due to hosting costs. |
It was a valuable resource for onestop tool market. Gone are the days when reversing was a hot deal
|
Its sad to see that the RCE Woodmann site is down :(
If hosting was the problem as to why they shutdown, I would be willing to see if I can fund or look for alternatives for it to be up again. Anyone willing to work towards bringing this site up please PM me . I am not a very rich man :D but I sure do not want a such a treasure-trove of RCE knowledge to go down :( I do know that its not very active these days, but all the same I believe that sites like them should be preserved. at least for their historical value if not for anything else ! |

I have an archive of +Fravia's Searchlores site, but not the Woodmann forum. I'd be willing to help out where I can. Is anyone else looking for the files?
|
NO @Lowtec :
I do have all the archives, including the huge archives of the Woodman (those torrents). I am not looking for them ... In fact, I have many of the original Fravia's Posts from 1997 or so, in my collection as at that time, the Woodmann site and the EXETOOLS sites were the only sites to turn to, for any decent RCE material :) What I am trying to so is to keep the Woodmann site UP, especially "Collaborative RCE Tool Libarary" section, which is in my opinion, a priceless treasure that should be preserved for eternity ! In other words, am looking at possibilities of me possibly taking responsibility for the hosting etc (if necessary).. In my opinion, to avoid takedowns by anyone calling it an "illegal" collection of tools, I would need to put up a lot of disclaimers and the required warnings (for example, need to state for many of the tools that they are intended for research purposes bla, bla bla and also may re-word some of the descriptions so that the "intended use" of the tool(s) would not appear to be encouraging illegal use. Just a start.. A LOT of work would need to be done if at all I am also allowed to take part in the restoration, but even if it takes a bit of time, I wish that it can be done ... Cheers :) |
@TechLord, Great to hear! I'm glad the files are still around. Do you (or anyone else) know who ran the Woodmann forum previously? It might be best to ask for their blessing before moving forward with recreating the site and standing on the shoulders of that community's work.
That being said, I would love to see the Woodmann site return! I think that there is great value in actively maintaining the pages, including the one you mentioned. I don't think any argument can be made about tools being illegal in most free countries. After all, IDA and others sell their tools as commercial products with no concern. Knowledge for knowledge's sake is perfectly fine. The problem arises when discussing illegal activities such as theft of software and copyright infringement. Reversing is not a crime! Another example, malware researchers are providing active malicious samples for sharing, then I don't see why some tools should pose a problem. Some may disagree, they don't have to visit that web site. |
No, I am of course not "re-creating" that site or anything. If and only if the original owners of the forum(s) are interested, then only will I be moving forward with this proposal.
It doesn't make any sense for me to create another mirror without coordinating with the original founders first ! Just thought that I should clarify so that anyone reading this would be clear regarding my intentions :) |

In fact, even last year, I had downloaded the rather huge "rips" of the Woodmann site, when they had made it available there... Our main concern here is that the site should be kept up and running as soon as possible and for as long as possible ... Cheers :) |
The site seems gone now, domain looks parked. Sad day in the history of RCE...
|
Sad. Is there an archive anywhere I can put in my storage/collection?
|
The link to the chm files on webarchive are still live ...

http://www.woodmann.com/forum/index.php is partially working.

Some info based on the posts on the forum so far:
- Woodmann is still the host/owner of the site, according to one of the moderators. - Forum was ported to phpBB from vBulletin. - All passwords were force-reset due to the forum change. (Use 'Forgot Password' to get back into your account. - Email server is broken atm so you may have to wait to get your account back. - Rest of the site is being restored still and will be back soon. |
This is very good, and the site presently shows:

Things are very different now compared to 1999 and many users in the present day may not want their old email addresses from the 90's to be in the database. Some of us used email addresses containing our real names since email harvesting and hacks were not as common at that time. It would not be a good idea for users to login using the old credentials even if to change the email address for the old accounts since the history would still be available in the database. So I suggest that all the old accounts (specifically the email addresses and other user-specific data) be totally wiped out from the DB (the posts can be left intact). I know that this is technically possible. This would ensure complete user privacy and the users can register again with the email addresses of their choice. |
I ran into some some old t-shirts (today) we did did a decade or so ago. iirc it was an attempt to get additional support for the hosting fees, etc. glad to see some former version still up. would be happy to donate if needed.
|
Up again!

customary to save some useful topic as mhtml.

A sad day in the history of RCE indeed.
Woodman site was a goldmine of knowledge for the reversing community. |
It is over.
Time for retirement! I will be making available downloadable archives of all the stuff I still have, Including the forums. I will add stuff as I find it, .rar it and upload it. http://www.woodmann.com/forum/ |

Every story has an ending.
Thanks to the guys who host/support RCE forum for so many years. |
The site seems gone.

Just wanted to post this internet archive link I found of crackz_fixed.rar (1.31 GB) in case anybody needed it. I barely found it.

I repeat, if anyone wants to put Fravia, Crackz and ARTeam back online I have the full backups of the ARTeam site. Contact me if interested.
best Shub |
Shub, what about creating GitHub + GitHub Pages project like github.com/vxunderground?
|
well, our ARTeam archive is already on vx-underground site. However, mine is more of a time and resources problem. If it's up to me, this thing might be waiting for years... I need an hand on this
|
you have discord ?
|
Do not yet have a discord. Anyway, do you have the possibility to mirror Woodmann and ARTeam tutorials somewhere? Do I understand correctly?
