Title: Installing GoAsm? Are the "GoAsm Headers" websites hacked?
Post by: Behemot on May 18, 2021, 06:05:16 AM
I am just starting on assembler - course on LinkedIn suggest GoAsm from:   
http://www.godevtool.com (http://www.godevtool.com)   
Specifically the ECGo.zip. OK so I downloaded it and README says that header files needed are at:   
http://www.donkeysstable.com (http://www.donkeysstable.com)   
Well that website does not exist - or it is blocked for some reason.
The Header section on GoDevTools also points to:   
https://1drv.ms/u/s!AtgCy-XywfO-hswt7RlbeWTxBgjjww (https://1drv.ms/u/s!AtgCy-XywfO-hswt7RlbeWTxBgjjww)   
which is infinitely suspicious.  Did someone hack into those sites?

Hello,

Welcome to the Masm Forum.

The header files created by Donkey :

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AtgCy-XywfO-hswt7RlbeWTxBgjjww

are not infected. Here is Jotti's report :

Thanks maybe I overrreacted. Got the header files.
MASM32 website talks about security. Would it be
safer to run code on say Linux VM (under VMWare)?

Hello,

No need to operate under a virtual machine. The zip file does not contain executables. If you are not sure, you can install an antivirus application to scan the content of the zip archive.

Thanks - just installed MASM32 and ran obligatory "Hello World":
>d:\masm32\bin\ml /c /coff mastest.asm   
>d:\masm32\bin\link /subsystem:console mastest.obj   
>mastest.exe
Hello World!

Pretty  :cool: GoAsm and Easy code are next.
