They are talking about computer things, that's about how familiar I am with whatever they are talking about.
Yeah, it's intentionally obscure. Basically, x86 assembly code is a way of telling a processor what to calculate, at a very low level.
So, it's similar to programming languages, but those actually get translated into x86 assembly code, before it's told to the processor. ("x86" is a certain processor architecture. Others exist, too, most prominently "ARM".)But yeah, even with me knowing that much, I'd need to guess what
retandint3might do.Everyone knows
jmpandnop, though, of course. 🙃Of course
return from subroutine, int3 would be something relating to interrupts off the top of my head.Int3 is a special single-byte (CC, if I recall correctly) form of the INT instruction (which is CD imm8, I think) to raise an interrupt. Interrupt #3 is the debugging interrupt, so by overwriting any instruction with CC, you place a breakpoint there.
That's the exact same thing. x86 Assembly Code isn't that hard(to know what it is, understanding it is something different),but I havent heard of the other stuff.
