Looking for people interested in advancing TheBrain

Hey everyone!

I've been working on TheBrain, an experimental AI project fully written in C89, with a particular focus on building a small AI system from scratch while keeping it suitable for older Windows systems and low-level environments.

The project currently combines:

  • 🧠 A small decoder-only Transformer
  • 🔤 A custom tokenizer and training pipeline
  • 🏋️ Training and inference implemented directly in C89
  • 🖥️ Native Win32 implementation
  • 📦 PE analysis
  • 🦠 Experimental malware-classification and anomaly-detection techniques
  • ⚡ CPU-focused optimizations designed with older hardware in mind

The long-term idea is to see how far an AI project written entirely in C89 can be pushed while keeping it lightweight and potentially usable on systems such as Windows 2000.

I'm posting this because I'd like to find someone who becomes interested in the project and wants to take it further.

I'm not specifically looking for people to simply "help me" with the project. If you find the concept interesting and want to experiment with it, improve something, try a different approach, or take the project in an interesting direction, that's exactly what I'm looking for.

Some possible areas to explore include:

  • Improving the Transformer architecture
  • Experimenting with better datasets and training methods
  • Improving inference performance
  • Making the AI more capable while keeping it lightweight
  • Improving the PE analysis and malware-detection experiments
  • Exploring better classification or anomaly-detection approaches
  • Optimizing it for older CPUs and Windows 2000
  • Or simply experimenting with ideas that could advance the project

The source is open, so you're also free to fork TheBrain and experiment with your own version if you find the idea interesting.

I'm mainly interested in seeing whether someone else finds the idea interesting enough to take it further in their own way.

Looking for people to test WinDiag on real systems

Hey everyone!

I've been working on WinDiag, a lightweight diagnostic and debugging tool focused primarily on Windows 2000 / NT5 and legacy Windows systems.

The project is still under development, and I'd like to get more people to test it on different systems and applications and report any bugs, crashes, false positives, or unexpected behavior.

Some of the current features include:

  • 🐛 Win32 user-mode debugging
  • 💥 Exception and crash analysis
  • 🔴 Software breakpoints
  • 🔍 x86/x64 disassembly
  • 📦 PE and compatibility analysis
  • 🔗 Import/API analysis
  • 🛡️ API integrity / hook detection
  • 📜 Crash and event history
  • 🌐 Remote debugging
  • 🖥️ CLI and GUI interfaces
  • Windows 2000 / NT5 compatibility in mind

I'm especially interested in testing on:

  • Windows 2000
  • Windows XP
  • Windows Server 2003
  • Windows Vista/7
  • Different hardware and CPU configurations
  • Older applications

You don't need to contribute code. I'm mainly looking for people who can simply use the tool and report their experience.

If you find a problem, please report things like:

  • Windows version/service pack
  • x86 or x64
  • What you were doing
  • WinDiag output/logs
  • Crash information
  • Screenshots, if useful

False positives are also very useful, especially for the API integrity scanner and compatibility checks.

If you're a developer and want to experiment with the source, you're also welcome to fork the repository, but there is absolutely no expectation to contribute code.

🔗 GitHub: https://github.com/Win2000DevCommunity/WinDiag

Any testing and feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! ❤️
