the recording of my talk "Rethinking Emulation for Fu(zzi)n(g) and Profit: Near-Native Rehosting for Embedded ARM Firmware" is online!

I had an absolute blast speaking and being at
@re-verse.io, so many great talks and hallway discussions
We were slow with the last video update so we figured we'd do a two for one! Lukas talks about rehosting firmware for fuzzing (youtu.be/o_ckTnTQlfs) and Robin shows off a fantastic new tool for exploring code relationships beyond single binaries (www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsDn...)

Really great read by @h0mbre (on X) about his journey to exploit a Linux n-day on kCTF. Not only the exploit but the process to understand the bug including own failures, e.g. deal with CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST, is full of insights. h0mbre.github.io/Patch_Gappin...

Background I’m trying to really focus this year on developing technically in a few ways. Part of that is reviewing kCTF entries. This helps me get a sense of what subsystems are producing the most bug...

How does the new iOS inactivity reboot work? What does it protect from?

I reverse engineered the kernel extension and the secure enclave processor, where this feature is implemented.
