I'm planning to switch for ever to linux - archlinux:



I implemented nft firewall to block all input comming to the box, no port expose, no daemon listening on a port.



further I'm considering to use linux-harden kernel instead of linux one, but really don't like this idea because I want to know what patches need to apply for my system, this also bad idea because it can burden my daily use and reduce productivity.



I'm thinking about something that check integrity of the box in real time - like antivirus on windows but don't know what to use here? Do you have suggestions?



I also need something to regularly scan and check vulnerabilities on the box so I can close it asap.



Is there any that you can suggest to harden my further box?



Thanks in advanced. Hope this is in the right forum.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
