What you link to is Fravia+ previous project, more focused on software reverse engineering - http://www.woodmann.com/fravia/.

Fravia+'s last project - "Web Searchlores" was/is more aimed towards general reverse engineering and information searching. The site contains a huge collection of information, which curiously, although not updated for so many years, is still relevant today.pparently searchlores.org and fravia.com have expired and are "parked" by sombody. But looks like http://search.lores.eu/ is the only remaining official mirror that remains from

What you say about the F/OSS certainly rings true, but at least for me, software reverse engineering has always been more as a training ground for reversing in general than to cracking software copy protections.

+greythorne has stopped updating his pages and +HCU's Linux infor, but mammon_ is pretty active, and even moved to Github: http://mammon.github.io/ . Definitely worth checking out for more information about Software RE under GNU/Linux.

Nowadays there are a lot of opaque software in widespread use, so the main focus has shifted towards web platforms, where reversing is still applicable.

Fravia died a few years ago: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fravia

For people interested in reversing I recommend to engage on the new http://reverseengineering.stackexchange.com/ and the "classic" http://www.reddit.com/r/ReverseEngineering/

One issue with reverse engineering information/community is the lack of organization. There are a lot of web resources about it but are not well interlinked (yes, the <a> tag). So, it is possible that a great tool is hidden in a page with low page rank. OpenRCE was successful in the past but nowadays people don't use it.

Yes, but 4 years are a considerable time on the web. Linkrot to and in some of the external resources can be felt.
