When giving #infosec advice it's easy to forget that the average person probably only knows about Uniform Resource Locators and the Domain Name System.

And Public Key Infrastructure of course.

VSCode doesn't know the powers I possess!

"Last week the @FFmpeg account began taunting security researchers. Foolish thing to do, as it ignores the asymmetry of their attack surface vs ours.

So as an exercise I found a stack-based buffer overflow on software that he wrote." - @ortegaalfredo

Normally I'm all for these stunts, but this one...

Thanks @pancake for the swag!

This article highlights how much control endpoint security vendors have over customer machines, and transitively over companies and maybe even nations:

You only install this stuff, because you trust the vendor (and their government, etc.). Or not, see Kaspersky vs. US.

I'm now basically doing this out of spite.

I'm old enough to remember years ago comrades predicting the inevitable fall of software and services which work just fine today.

@freddy The Machine Spirit only accepts such an invocation if you first offer the sacrifice of debugging.

As a result of working on r4ghidra I set the ambitious goal to create REshare, an exchange format for #ReverseEngineering tools:

https://github.com/v-p-b/reshare/

The code is still in its early days (literally) but the fact that it works with complex, real life binaries tells me that this goal is worth pursuing.

I'm looking for contributors, esp. for #BinaryNinja, #IDA and #radare2 scripting so we can bring all these worlds together!

My talk about integrating #ReverseEngineering tools is to be broadcasted in a couple of hours for #r2con2025:

https://rada.re/con/2025/

I'll release a ton of code and will be around on Discord for questions and comments.

Thanks to @disasmwinnie now you'll lose a bit less hair when testing Oracle Forms:
