    Wow! I was wondering what all the YT notifications were about...then opened /r/reverseengineering and saw my video. Many thanks to everyone for the kind words- definitely inspired me to start cranking out content again. And sorry about that bad blog link that was in the description- fixed.

      Hey Tony, I liked your video a lot and so I subscribed your channel. I'm currently working on a translation project and we need to reverse engineer and translate a firmware file, the extension is quite weird ".fw". Do you think you can have a look and give me a quick hint on what I can use to extract or edit this file?

    YT has just recommend this video, and this is by far one of the best tutorials that I have seen. Straight to the point, not wasting time explaining the basics at a nice place and eloquently narrated.
    Please post some more interesting videos, even if explaining the basics. YT needs more content like yours.

    The thing that’s great about his video is that he not only tells you how to do it but also tells you the thinking process, while still keeping the video short and straightforward. He’s a great educator. I hope my teachers are all like him.

    Just caught your site by chance and super glad I did. Fantastic communication skills, you are hands down the best narrator I have ever heard for this genre. Usually, those "in the known" are, well, just dry and nerdy and have zero vocal skills. Love the banter the delivery, that coupled with the obvious mad electronic and programming skills you are a phenom in my book. I subscribed in the first minute. Keep them coming and I will look for your patreon info next. Thanks
