And “smalidea-ng” turns into “smalidea-ai” finally😀.
Looking forward so much to being in the beautiful city of Heidelberg for @wearetroopers.bsky.social next week! I will only be around on the first conference day, but still a lot of time to meet old and new friends 👍🏻. Come say hi if you are around!
And smalidea-ng gets initial renaming support 👍!
Looking so much forward to have a lot of time soon to work on exciting projects I always wanted to work on full-time 😎🍀
smalidea-ng now supports line mapping between Smali and Java thanks to JADX. This also works while debugging of Smali code.
And finally smalidea-ng gets initial decompiler support (thanks to @Skylot for JADX). Still some work ahead👍

Arrived in Berlin for @offensivecon.bsky.social. Don’t be shy and say hi! Looking forward to meet old and new friends👍
After many hours of development my Smalidea fork supports: - parameters and variables with type information - conditional breakpoints - change parameters and variables via "expression" or "setValue". Quite happy with the results 😀
My first watchTowr post is out! It was my first take on a CMS solution and I was able to get some interesting pre-auth RCE chains on Kentico Xperience. 😎 labs.watchtowr.com/bypassing-au...

Finally had some time to put together a new blog post. It’s not groundbreaking, but it could still be interesting if you're into application security.
In our latest blog post, we dive into the hidden gems of the Java library c3p0 and explore how it can be leveraged in different exploitation scenarios. Happy reading! 😀 mogwailabs.de/en/blog/2025...
