I have a old Fortigate 50A firewall and a ethernet to serial cable.



The firewall has a serial port (console) and my computer doesn't, how can I configure the firewall using the ethernet to serial cable? I tried some stuff with ser2net but I don't know if this is a correct way to do that.

    what do you mean by ethernet to serial cable? If this is just a passive RJ45 to DB9 rewiring (as seems to be provided with the machine), you still need a serial port on your computer. If however you have an ethernet-to-serial convertor, you'll need to say which.

  • And in case it's not an active ethernet-to-serial converter (I've never heard of any such device, but who knows), USB-to-serial dongles are pretty cheap. Then use minicom /dev/ttyUSB0 etc. Or screen, or whatever you like. Once you figure out the textual interface, you can even use echo, or expect.

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...
