The Cost of Understanding: LLM-Driven Reverse Engineering vs Iterative LLM Obfuscation
Introduction Over the past few years, we have observed a significant evolution in the capabilities of LLMs to be productive and to carry out various tasks that address real-world problems, such as program synthesis, malware research, or vulnerability research. Specifically in the context of reverse engineering, LLMs are particularly effective given the right tools because they are very good at reading source code even without symbols. Not only that, thanks to their knowledge, they are capable…
