There’s a new entry in our #Rust tool suite designed to assist with #reverseengineering and #vulnerabilityresearch against binary targets!

Oneiromancer by @raptor uses the locally running aidapal LLM by @atredis to analyze and improve #IDA pseudo-code.

Recon CFP ends in less than 2 weeks on April 28. Prices for the training and conference increase on May 1st. Register now to save with early bird price. We have already announced a few talks and workshops, and more videos from last year have been released. https://recon.cx #reverseengineering #cybersecurity #offensivesecurity #hardwarehacking @hackingump1 @mr_phrazer @nicolodev @SinSinology @hunterbr72 @clearbluejar @phLaul @oryair1999 @hookgab @TheQueenofELF @So11Deo6loria @i0n1c @pedrib1337 @MalachiJonesPhD @Pat_Ventuzelo @KB_Intel @pinkflawd @Reverse_Tactics @OnlyTheDuck @t0nvi @drch40s @BrunoPujos @mhoste1 @andreyknvl @texplained_RE @jsmnsr @pulsoid @SpecterDev @richinseattle @yarden_shafir @aionescu @hackerschoice @SinSinology @sergeybratus @SpecterOps @oryair1999 @phLaul @trailofbits @HexRaysSA @nostarch

"Donald Trump’s tariffs demand a response. Around the world, that response has defaulted to retaliatory tariffs — a strategy with severe and obvious drawbacks. After years of pandemic shocks and greedflation, people around the globe have severe inflation fatigue, and few governments are eager to risk further price hikes. And while the world is rightly furious at Trump’s talk of annexation and other belligerent acts, that anger is unlikely to translate into popular support for higher prices on everyday goods. If there’s one lesson that politicians everywhere have metabolized over the past twenty-four months, it’s that any government that presides over inflationary price rises is likely to be out of a job come the next election.

Luckily there is another policy response to tariffs — one that will substantially lower prices for America’s tariff-clobbered trading partners while incubating profitable, export-oriented domestic tech firms. These firms could sell tools and services to local businesses, to the benefit of the world’s news and culture industries, software firms, and consumers alike.

That response? Repealing “anticircumvention laws” that prohibits domestic firms from reverse-engineering “digital locks.” These anticircumvention laws stop the world’s farmers from fixing their John Deere tractors; they stop mechanics from diagnosing your car; they stop technologists from creating their own app stores for phones and games consoles."

Comparing #meta #llama 4 (maverick / scout) vs #qwen 32b for decompilation purposes #r2ai #reverseengineering
PD: groq is the best place to try all these models if you don't have the hardware
PD: qwen-qwq reasoning takes more time, but improves the output, much better than openai/claude/meta for decompilation usecases

If anyone is curious about r2mcp, yes, it now runs in local with openwebui and mcpo #r2ai #radare2 #reverseengineering #llm

My latest blog post: VanSpoof - Prototype 2 - Shrunken PCBs

https://mikecoats.com/van-spoof-prototype-2-hardware/

The VanSpoof PCB has to be no bigger than 31.5 mm by 21.5 mm to fit. Unfortunately, Molex's SMD footprints are quite wide so the board needed a fair bit of layout work to make everything fit.

Welcome to the new edition of #nakeddiefriday everyone. The guest today is the famous ESP8266EX by Espressif, a SoC loved by many in the electronics world.

Unfortunately, the digital section is fully covered by two topmost metal layers carrying power. We do have a glorious analog/RF section though.

The whole #mcp ecosystem is pure magic, here's a quick demo seamlessly running the r2mcp server. Kudos to the plugin's author @dnakov #r2ai #reverseengineering #llm #claude if you want to try it out, just run “r2pm -Uci r2mcp" and add the json block described in the repo’s readme!
