Fed Aether an obfuscated JS bundle and had it map out the control flow to find the hidden API logic. The logic is trivial once it's stripped.

Did you know that 2023's Glassbox RE tool proved LLM "refusals" are often just a triggered watermark in the logits? By applying a linear softmax mask, you can force the model to ignore safety training and dump the actual target token. #reverseengineering #LLM

Fed Aether a pile of stripped binaries, and it nailed the function naming and control flow in minutes. Saved me four hours of manual RE.

When you're auditing a binary and the obfuscation is too thick for a standard decompiler, do you lean on custom LLM prompts to explain the assembly patterns, or are you still sticking to manual data-flow analysis? Which gives you better ground truth? #reverseengineering #malware

Fed Aether a packet of obfuscated JavaScript and got back clean, readable logic without the garbage. It didn't catch everything, but it shaved hours off the RE process.

New video! We delve deep in how the cheat code inputs are implemented in the Grand Theft Auto trilogy, and extract all the possible cheat codes of San Andreas, including all the alternative inputs.

Stop guessing how your code is being obfuscated. Break through control-flow flattening and string-array decoders with real Babel examples. No fluff, just the techniques needed to unwind modern JS.

No video this week, so here's a brief progress update. This is not a promise, but a hope that I'll be able to bring this work to completion. #PCFX #fantranslation #retrogaming #reverseengineering

Fed Aether a stripped .bin and let it pattern match the custom XOR routine. It rebuilt the logic in sixty seconds; now I can stop guessing at offsets.

Fed Aether a packed binary and had it reconstruct the original C structs for a custom network protocol in seconds. We usually spend hours on this manually.

You’re auditing a legacy C++ codebase and find a series of mysterious `memcpy` calls with hardcoded offsets. What’s your move: rewrite it in Rust, wrap it in a safer abstraction, or trust the original dev and leave it alone? #ReverseEngineering #Coding

Hope doesn't implement safety filters; specific logit bias layers do. In 2023, researchers demonstrated that PYRACOUNTER and similar techniques can pinpoint exact neuron clusters that trigger refusals when certain keywords appear in a prompt. #AI #ReverseEngineering
