500 lines of pure x64 assembly.
Just to create a Vulkan instance.
No helpers. No C. No safety nets. Just raw MASM64 and the Vulkan headers.

This is what low-level graphics looks like when you go all the way down.
Next up: surface and device creation.

DuckDuckFedi: has anyone reverse engineered the Tumblr API/app and made a third-party implementation yet, and if not, why?

In the demo version of Cryo's Dune, Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen was based on a production image of Sting from the Dune movie, but was redesigned before release.

Here's a video of the image of Sting, Feyd-Rautha from the demo version, and the final portrait from the game.

(Let's see how Mastodon handles a very wide video…)

About time we get this #nakeddiefriday going, friends.

Today's exhibit is one ST1305B, by ST Micro. This is a memory card IC with 192 bits of memory on the die.

The die itself is only 1.40×1.18 mm, quite on the small side.

A short thread follows.

Crazy thought… what if your decompiled Objective-C code looked like Objective-C code?

Today's journey: implementing an Objective-C “pseudo-language” view for Binary Ninja.

Next Thursday, May 15 at @NorthSec in Montreal, I will be hosting the workshop "Reconstructing Rust Types: A Practical Guide for Reverse Engineers"! This will be a 3-hour workshop how to approach Rust types and data structures when reversing Rust binaries. See https://nsec.io/session/2025-reconstructing-rust-types-a-practical-guide-for-reverse-engineers.html for more details!

Workshops at NorthSec will be streamed on YouTube Live. My workshop is scheduled for 1300-1600 EDT (UTC-4) on Thursday, May 15 in the Workshop 2 track, in Salle de la Commune. The stream link for all the Thursday Salle de la Commune workshops is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwJgS32Q6As&list=PLuUtcRxSUZUrW9scJZqhbiuTBwZBJ-Qic&index=7

Looking forward to seeing folks there!

(Edited since I can't count days of the week apparently: May 15, which is when my workshop is occurring, is a Thursday, not a Wednesday.)

Entrypoints in iaito, are not just the runtime linker entrypoint, but also include the constructor, destructors, thread local storage initializer on PE binaries.. but also, thanks to "ies" it's also including all the application callback entrypoints like notification event handlers and other useful functions #ios #reverseengineering

I've been experimenting with improving Binary Ninja's analysis of Objective-C code recently. Having the ability to hide Obj-C runtime reference counting calls, and apply type information based on [super init] and objc_alloc_init calls can dramatically improve the readability (and in some cases even accuracy!) of the decompiled code.

HELLO! And welcome to the #nakeddiefriday on this somewhat rainy day.

Today's guest is a variation on the serial EEPROM theme, one MDA2062 made by ITT in Germany. I'll do a short thread.
