  • BootAble – FreeDOS boot testing freeware

    To obtain direct, low-level access to a system's mass storage drives, SpinRite runs under a GRC-customized version of FreeDOS which has been modified to add compatibility with all file systems. In order to run SpinRite it must first be possible to boot FreeDOS.

    GRC's “BootAble” freeware allows anyone to easily create BIOS-bootable media in order to workout and confirm the details of getting a machine to boot FreeDOS through a BIOS. Once the means of doing that has been determined, the media created by SpinRite can be booted and run in the same way.

    The participants here, who have taken the time to share their knowledge and experience, their successes and some frustrations with booting their computers into FreeDOS, have created a valuable knowledgebase which will benefit everyone who follows.

    You may click on the image to the right to obtain your own copy of BootAble. Then use the knowledge and experience documented here to boot your computer(s) into FreeDOS. And please do not hesitate to ask questions – nowhere else can better answers be found.

Hi All,

I just wanted to pass this along since @Steve and Leo sometimes talk about bug bounty programs. I just got my hands on one Early Access edition (which they update periodically) of the No Starch Press Bug Bounty Bootcamp Book. This still incomplete book appears to be pretty amazing. My personal thoughts of being a bug hunter are diminishing just looking at it. It appears to be very authoritative and well written. They have about 15 chapters at this point about individual types of bugs as well as other chapters on background and techniques. I can barely imagine reading and understanding the complexities, much less writing such a book. But, I thought some of you might appreciate it.


$ 50 for print book preorder and early access ebook.

May your bits be stable and your interfaces be fast. :cool: Ron
