• Reverse-engineering an encrypted IoT protocol

  Next time you find yourself reverse engineering a weird protocol - use ImHex. I can't recommend it enough - it's perfect for the job and it's free and Open Source. https://imhex.werwolv.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Spectrum Analyser, a Sinclair ZX Spectrum reverse engineering tool

  Just one note: Please use UI scaling; it's near impossible to read on a 150% 4k screen (much less on 100%). Unfortunately, young eyes don't last forever. The UI looks very much like ImHex (https://imhex.werwolv.net/) is this a coincidence, or is it the standard ImGui look and feel? I wish ImHex had a decompiler for Z80 as well, but this is much better. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• The Hiew Hex Editor

  I now use ImHex after looking for years for a good one. It has a pattern language to provide highlighting. https://imhex.werwolv.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• [Tutorial] How to manually change FOV (SoC, CS, & CoP)

  Download a hex editor such as ImHex and open it. I'd recommend downloading the portable version of whatever hex editor you are using if it's offered. That way you don't have to install the program and can instantly delete it off your drive when you're done. Source: 10 months ago

• Openage Development 2023: April

  Documentation for AoE2 graphics formats have been enhanced and there is now a pattern file that you can use in imHex to explore the SLP file structure. Source: about 1 year ago

• I've figured out what 13 of the 16 enemy flags mean in Ultima V. Help me figure out the last three.

  I've got no experience with reverse-engineering executables, but I got a bunch of code-like stuff showing up when I fed ULTIMA.EXE to Ghidra and told it to analyze it with all the flags set. Source: 12 months ago

• Modding SH2

  The whole game is written in C++ (game logic intertwined with graphics). Ghidra can help you deconstruct the game binaries, but you need to put in a GREAT great effort to even get a starting point. Cheat Engine has been successful for some purposes, including an AI enabling utility for multiplayer (use with great care!). Source: 12 months ago

• You have probably heard of Temu right?

  What I think you’re talking about is reverse engineering. It’s basically taking a program and analysing the compiled code to attempt to find out how it works. It’s a fairly expansive topic, and fairly tricky to do but look at anything to do with Ghidra to get started. Source: about 1 year ago

• Asking for clarification ... How is learning C beneficial for becoming a Cyber security expert

  Oh also just as an aside Ghidra is a really cool free tool developed by the NSA which can reverse engineer software by looking at its executable and recreating the C code from the instructions and static data within. It's another way to get familiarized with the relationship between C code and the instructions it compiles to. Source: about 1 year ago

• Super Smash Bros. Melee HD Port Will "Never Happen," According to Former Nintendo Employees

  There exist decompilers and other tools for helping make sense of assembly and that can automate some of the conversion back to higher level languages. In my brief involvement with Slippi I used Ghidra - a tool developed by the NSA, to do some of that kind of work, which I found a little amusing. Source: about 1 year ago
