Hi all,

I had an idea I want to comment here. Well, when I begin to reversing a new target, I usually find that it has some known functions. I mean functions that are common constructions used by the compiler, copy&pasted code, standard implementations for public protocols/operations (in example: smtp/pop engines, MIME, NAT operations, RSA...)

We can recognise these functions, and label them, but we are here in a "repetitive task". For every piece of code that fits in this description, there will be a lot of people that already analyzed it (or a very similar one). So... why not have a repository of this kind of information?

I mean, to have a repository of functions (or pieces of code) with their respective comments or descriptions where people can submit their findings or search for code that resists to be analyzed ;D

Think in a "google code" for reversers, maybe merged with a "bindiff"-like engine.

I don't know if something like this already exists, so I want any kind of feedback (from "you're crazy, man" to "I have an implementation of that thing", there's no problem).

Well, thanks for reading all this stuff. I hope that it was not a waste of time ;P
