Okay, it's been almost a week or more since I blogged.

Iam now in kolkata and Iam here for a kewl project.I like the city, I have been here for 3 days and to be very frank I like this place ;)

I have mapped several ideas for working on the project and I have temporarily stopped analyzing malware because this project is really sophisticated than the former. It's an embedded RE project.

I'll update what Iam doing periodically ... if I have time.
