No rest for the weary! After around a year of our compiler-aware decompilation approach, SAILR, being public, it's finally time to present it. If you're at USENIX, come see my talk at 11:15am, the first talk, in track 6. See you there!

In August, #ASUEngineering ASU School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence faculty members and doctoral students were part of the 25-person Shellphish team. The ‘hackademics’ won $2 million in the semifinal round of the DARPA AIxCC competition for their project, ARTIPHISHELL. news.asu.edu/20240903-scien…

BinSync has been updated to support IDA 9! If your teammates are staying on 8.4, no worries—we have backward compatibility! You can still collaborate. This also means all binsync-based plugins, like DAILA, have been updated for 9. Happy hacking: github.com/binsync/binsyn…

Excited to share that I'll be presenting our work (arvindsraj.com/publication/20…) about finding future vulnerabilities using fuzzing at CCS this week. 🧵 1/6

The Happy Lab is hiring multiple PhD students for Fall 2025! RT appreciated :-) We discover how human factors can 1) mitigate ML-enabled abuse (deepfakes) and 2) be harnessed with ML-powered security to create safe, human-centric systems! Find us at: happyresearchlab.com :)

Hello hackers! In case you missed it at @DEFCON: Perri Adams, Adam Doupé, Robert Wasinger, Connor Nelson, @TheDarkTangent and I announced DEFCON Academy! I kept meaning to spread the word, and now that there's hype (news.asu.edu/20241031-scien…), it's time for the thread! Read on! 🧵

Proud to announce the first-ever ACSAC Capture the Flag (CTF)! Celebrating 40 years of ACSAC, we honor the Hawaiian culture inspired by the legend of Māui, who used the Manaiakalani to fish the Hawaiian Islands out of the ocean Attendees play @ acsacctf.com

Cybercrime continues to rise. A recent report says that victims lost more than $1 trillion globally to scammers in 2024. Ananta Soneji is a doctoral student in #SCAI researching innovative cybersecurity solutions for the future. #ASUEngineering fullcircle.asu.edu/research/when-…

2024 was a significant year for decompilation, constituting a possible resurgence in the field. Major talks, the thirty-year anniversary of research, movements in AI, and an all-time high for top publications in decompilation. Join me for a retrospective: mahaloz.re/dec-progress-2…

USENIX WOOT '25 submissions are due March 11. One month to go - still plenty of time to write a paper about your latest fun offensive security research! Or if you want more guidance to get a paper into shape, up-and-coming track deadline is March 4. CfP at usenix.org/conference/woo…

We're big fans of Zion Leonahenahe Basque technical blog. He loves reverse engineering, decompilation, and binary analysis and has great writeups on everything from fuzzing and bug-hunting to game-hacking and more. We especially like his year in review "Decompiling 2024: A Year of Resurgence in

Only a week and a half left for USENIX WOOT '25 conference submissions - deadline March 11 AoE. We’re looking forward to seeing even more of your amazing offensive security papers this year! And still a few days for up-and-coming track (March 4). CfP at usenix.org/conference/woo…

Looking to write your own MCP for a popular decompiler? Check out our unified API that allows scripting in IDA, Ghidra, Binja, and angr. In the same few Python lines, you can make a struct, retype a function, and modify local vars. Check it out: github.com/binsync/libbs

Another must-watch talk from RE//verse 2025 is live! Zion Leonahenahe Basque challenges decompilers to step up their game and introduces a roadmap for a practical solution to solve some of the trickiest compiler behavior's to analyze. Check it out here: youtu.be/VP29biKLoSw

The CTF includes the first blockchain challenges on pwn.college, built by hashiman and an awesome array of other chals by Zion Leonahenahe Basque, Wil Gibbs, @x3ero0, TheWyrmSuperior, and me! We tried to keep the chals approachable and interestingly challenging for undergrads!

We are so back! Shellphish

We are excited to announce that the 1st Workshop on Software Understanding and Reverse Engineering (SURE) will be co-located at ACM CCS 2025 in Taiwan! We invite the community to submit their awesome research sure-workshop.org. So, what is SURE? More in the 🧵

Super fun to talk with John Hammond and my teammates lukas Fabio about our system ARTIPHISHELL, the AI Cyber Challenge (AIxCC), and LLMs! youtu.be/TQFDqsgPKdY?si…

What does it mean to be a hacker? This semester, I taught a hacker history and culture class, which was a blast. In one assignment, my students paid tribute to the classic Phrack Zine Pro-Phile -- a small bio on a famous hacker. Check out their pieces: cse194.mahaloz.re/prophiles.html

Ready to make your impact on the software understanding and reverse engineering community? Submit your work to SURE! Our submission site is now open: sure25.hotcrp.com. The submission deadline is June 28th AoE. We look forward to seeing your novel work 🔥.
