  For example is simpliest search buffer overflows in open code,why to do this in non open source software?

Not sure if I understand you correctly, but here it goes

(did you try using the google translator bot? I am not sure if they
have Portuguese, but if you know some Espanol, just start a google
talk session with es2en@... and type in Espanol and it
will convert into english)

Debuggers can make it easier to find vulns in Closed Source SW

IDA Pro Is pretty good, but the newest versions cost money. version
4.3 is free I hear

Free= SoftICE (old, no longer maintained)

Also Free= ollydbg (maintained, good)

Also Also Free=immunity debugger (also maintained and good)

Grep'ing through source is a LOT less time consuming than RCE'ing
win32 Binaries. Be ready for some headaches.

Due to the consumption of time a closed source app takes to reverse,
some turn to fuzzer's like the Spike and Sulley fuzzing frameworks.

Happy Googling :-)
