I have been in a couple of Assembly competitions recently on a private forum. They have been very interesting, one in particular was to create the smallest PE file (Windows executable) that displays the message "ADZ" in a graphical message box i.e use of user32.MessageBoxA() and must exit without an exception. I am currently in first position with
109 bytes! So its a challenge to any reverse engineering experts to try and beat that ;) I will be posting my solution and analysis once of the competition ends, which is in about 5 days. Here is a useful resource to get you started:
