• Reverse-engineering an encrypted IoT protocol

  Just piggybacking here to mention a variety of other "interpret structured binary data" tools. Apparently I collect links to these (: * fq - like jq for binary data: https://github.com/wader/fq ** visualizer, for the above: https://github.com/kaitai-io/kaitai_struct_visualizer/ ** binary templates, for the above: https://github.com/HexFiend/HexFiend/blob/master/templates/Tutorial.md * binary-parsing - a collection... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Parsing an Undocumented File Format

  - ImHex [2], which has a pattern language [3] which allows parsing, and it seems more powerful than what Kaitai offers. I stumbled upon some limitations with it but it was still useful. [1]: https://kaitai.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• HTTPie Desktop: cross-platform API testing client for humans

  Beautiful. Didn't know something like this exists. Reminds me of Katai[0] [0]. https://kaitai.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Hacking the LG Monitor's EDID

  An EDID override like this would be helpful for macOS as well, where the monitors swapping around after standby is a real annoyance [0] [1] EDID rewrites are 99% of the time blocked by the monitor firmware: https://notes.alinpanaitiu.com/Decoding-monitor-EDID-on-macOS By the way, one helpful tool that helped me navigate the EDID dump was Kaitai Struct [2]. It shows a side by side view with the hex view and the... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Fq: Jq for Binary Formats

  Kaitai Struct might be a good choice for that: https://kaitai.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months 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: 11 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: 11 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: 12 months 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
