You've seen the trends in AIxCC: LLMs can hack source, find vulns, and patch them. But what about on binaries without source? Do decompilers close the gap, or is there more to grow?

Come see my talk at DistrctCon where I merge and dissect these two fields: AI Hacking + Decomp.

It's been about a week since we completed DARPA's AIxCC, where we came in 5th and had the most accurate autonomous patching system in the competition. In the coming days, I'll be describing how we achieved it on the patching side. Stay tuned.

Benchmarks are our measures of progress. Or are they?

Looking forward to exploring promises & perils of measuring tool capabilities @ SBFT'25! Thanks Gunel, Vincenzo, and Matteo for the invite!
