This is great, thanks!

Please don't grave-dig old threads.

Wonderful post. Really tried hard to think up some constructive criticism, but I honestly can't think of any. Your post was short yet very clear, just what I was looking for. Thanks!

Awesome! Got my first cass of C language Smile

nice post, its clear and covers everything.
do you know how turing machines are related to the way that processor work?

This was, indeed as other has said, a wonderful tutorial. I am still a bit confused though, it can help you hacking, but in what ways? Could you give any example of how it could be of use to hack? (and/or crack).
I've got my ideas but they're bit shady and I would like my mind to be straight on this.

One way I personally use Assembly language is to reverse engineer software(Also cracking software) and to reverse engineer firmware (Find exploits etc). Also knowing how computers work at a fundamental level is also a good thing.

Okay, yea I know how computer works fairly decently. I've got one more question though ..
There's a old game called "Tiba" which I made a bot for. A bot which can basically just press some buttons and move the mouse here and there and also read the memory. If I wanted to improve this, could I reverse engineer the client and call their own functions somehow? For example, sometimes you want to walk to x,y,z (which cannot be seen ingame) but could I call a function to move to these coordinates through using their functions somehow?

Oh also, there's potentially money involved if this could become a big deal, so if you want in, be my guest. I'm just doing it to learn.

Ohhh Sir you are not weird by default as your title says you are GENIUS BY DEFAULT, I find this after some years so my post has no mean at all by I could not hold myself from saying some kind words.

Thanks a lot for sharing all that incredible information and for spending much time to concatenate that info like this.

GREAT JOB HAVE BEEN DONE ON THAT THREAD.
PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST THREADS I HAVE SEEN SO FAR IN THE WHOLE FORUM.
