Months of relentless work finally out: our Bitcoin Core security audit! Both a bless by the code maturity, security culture -- and a curse by the challenge it represents! Glad to have crossed paths with such a great dev team, @dergoegge @darosior @fanquake. Keep up the great job!

Quarkslab engineers @RobinDavid1, @MihailKirov1 and Kaname just completed the first public security audit of Bitcoin Core, led by @OSTIFofficial and funded by @bitcoinbrink. Details on the blog post: blog.quarkslab.com/bitcoin-c… Congrats to developers for such software masterpiece !

The dragon has a VM. Of course it does. Our latest blog walks through the analysis of a complex C binary hiding behind a virtual machine, themed as a classic RPG fight. QBDI & TritonDSE are your weapons of choice. The dragon doesn't stand a chance. 🐉 blog.quarkslab.com/qbdi-vs-t…

🎓 New PhD at Quarkslab on: "Analyzing binary programs and obfuscation with graph-based representations and machine learning". I am overjoyed having supervised Roxane's PhD and I have rarely seen such a committed, talented PhD researcher congrats 🎉!

Great talk by @JohnLaTwC on ways you can turn security data into graphs: youtube.com/watch?v=cXhX3sNh…. Especially the vector part is great: so many tools have built in support for embeddings (e.g. BigQuery ML.GENERATE_EMBEDDING and VECTOR_SEARCH), defenders should be using them more!

The recording of my talk is online: youtube.com/watch?v=LsDnrfZt… "Streamlining firmware analysis with inter-image call graph and decompilation". Held in Orlando, Florida at @REverseConf!

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 (youtube.com/watch?v=LsDnrfZt…)

There are so many great reasons to be on Signal. Now including the opportunity for the vice president of the United States of America to randomly add you to a group chat for coordination of sensitive military operations. Don’t sleep on this opportunity…

Nice blog post! We never documented it, but one can take a look at python-binexport github.com/quarkslab/python-… to see how we recreate a whole program structure from a BinExport file! Cc @AdmVonSchneider
