Re: Any tips for assessing Flash Applications and Silverlight?

[Michael Douglas <mick () pauldotcom com>]

Just confirmed with someone who's a .net/silverlight dev. They indignantly
reminded me to follow the folder trick too. 'gosh of course you need to do
that, this isn't flash!'

Use the decompiler that works best for you. I've had luck first running
msfpescan to see if it has potential.

Best of luck! Please let us know how it goes! (hide details please as needed
so you can keep your job!)
