Phew. Shellphish qualified for DEF CON final even in the era of slop. Didn't even expected that! Let's go, Shellphishers!

We're really living in a renaissance of decompilation! Super excited about this work.

For years, Rust binaries made reversing a nightmare. Modern decompilers only support C, lacking meaningful types, constructs, and language-specific functions. Led by @34r7hm4n, we're releasing our S&P work Oxidizer, the first deep Rust decompiler, built on angr! Interested? ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡

As of yesterday's Usenix Security notifications, I have received a cumulative 199 paper rejections in my research career! One more to 200! ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿคž๐Ÿคž๐Ÿคž๐Ÿคž

Reminder! Today is the submission deadline for the first ever Conference of Synthetic Security Research @synsec_ai, so unless you want to gamble on a(nother) extension, warm up those agents and get those papers submitted!

For those that don't recall, SynSec is an experiment on agentically-executed scientific research in all areas of cybersecurity. All papers must have an AI model as first author, though we *do* have a human-first-author track too. Go prompt some science! synsec.org

Can we translate all C to Rust? The susceptibility of C to memory corruption has long been a cybersecurity pain point, and coding agents can free us of it. Read on for my recent experiments in this space, and apt & docker repos that you can pull rust-converted libraries from!

Finally, credit where credit is due: @DARPA's TRACTOR program (darpa.mil/research/programs/โ€ฆ) was first to suggest we Translate All C TO Rust. It's been on my mind since its announcement, and it wouldn't have occurred to me do this otherwise! As usual, DARPA is leading the way here!

This concludes what may be the longest tweet thread I've ever written. Interested to hear your thoughts! safelibs.org safelibs.org/apt hub.docker.com/r/safelibs github.com/safelibs/ If you want to chat in person, Iโ€™m at @DEFCON Singapore at @DEFCONAcademy!
