Reversing virtualized binaries is no easy task. Our intern Jack took on exploring automated devirtualization techniques, and presents in our latest blog post an efficient, modular, taint-based approach that leverages LLVM IR: https://blog.thalium.re/posts/llvm-powered-devirtualization/

"Go to the cloud, it'll be great"

Microsoft has been reporting an issue since 8:54pm yesterday. The basic summary of the issue is "Teams,. Exchange, Purview, SharePoint, and Universal Print are all broken". So you know - everything you need to use in Office365 to operate on a day to day basis in a Microsoft world.

Copilot is also broken apparently, but we don't like that anyway, right?!

A lot of people don’t know this one weird trick — much like JavaScript, C also lets you perform arithmetic with mixed types:

Dear everyone who owns domains that are *not used for e-mail*, particularly ones that are potential targets for phishing (banks, high-profile names): Could you please configure SPF+DMARC, ideally with p=reject? You may wonder: Why should I configure anything email for a host that isn't used for email? Well... it helps others to identify spam sent with your domain as the sender.

Good news: The Dell firmware update utility definitely checks whether update executables are signed.

Bad news: Dell is posting unsigned update executables to their website labeled “critical” which then fail to install due to the good news

social media platform users are going to link offsite. the only question is how obnoxious the platform will make it for them and everyone else.

(For context: Instagram prohibits links in post text. This, plus the incentive to inflate comments, has led to the proliferation of tools where creators instruct their followers to comment with a specific word to receive a link in their DMs— in this case, to a pie crust recipe)

Prefer Rust to C? There's no reason your decompilation has to necessarily target C as the output. With our Language Representation UI/API in 4.2 you can see all your decompilation as Rust instead.

A bit annoying thing in #Bsky #ATProto is that you don't post plaintext that is "enriched" remotely, but provide a Rich Text object with links, tags, etc. marked as such. It seems from the servers perspective len(rich_text)!=len(str(rich_text)) and I found no way to find out what the true length of my rich Text object will be resulting in failed posts and bad thread splitting...

Latest #Ghidra failed to build because some obscure pyOpenSSL error, which can break pip altogether:

> TypeError: deprecated() got an unexpected keyword argument 'name'

Here's what worked for me:
- Delete the failing pyOpenSSL directory from site-packages
- pip install "pyOpenSSL>22.0.0,<23.0"
