It's getting close to being done - #BinYars a #YARA-X #BinaryNinja plugin! Still testing, but plan on open sourcing it for all to use. Shout out to Remco Sprooten for making this tool (also shown in the video) for quickly drafting Yara rules 💪 github.com/1337-42/Simp... Video: Part 1 of 2
I have just listened to a "Behind the Binary" episode interview with Jordan Wiens (@psifertex.bsky.social), where Jordan goes a bit into the history of #Vector35 and @binary.ninja, and the overall philosophy about how the came to build such an amazing tool and continue to do so. 1/4

society erred when we removed the computer from its honored place in the home and ushered it into every part of our profane world. we must rebuild the temple of the Computer Room
Courtesy of several excellent @re-verse.io conversations, I have been learned that reverse engineers don’t just hide in dark basements, but are sometimes found around blue skies. Sounds like a good time to dust off this account.
What do you wear at @re-verse.io? A Ghidra tshirt and Hex Rays cap, with @psifertex.bsky.social rocking the Binary Ninja tshirt, hoodie, and cap!
My hobby: when using chat-support, I always try to get the last word in and phrase things for no easy reply. Don't say "thanks"--say "great" when they say something good. Otherwise "you're welcome" is the easy quick reply. It's gamifying time tracking if they're measured on it for faster resolution.
Today, I crafted manually tiny polyglot files as easy examples. In my next stream (tomorrow @ 9PM CET), I'll walk through some real polyglots: the releases of PoC||GTFO. www.youtube.com/live/POg2Qpx...

Just unrestricted an issue that shows a fun new attack surface. Android RCS locally transcribes incoming media, making vulnerabilities audio codecs now fully-remote. This bug in an obscure Samsung S24 codec is 0-click project-zero.issues.chromium.org/issues/36869...

My second favorite part of having find my or Google sharing with a bunch of friends is slowly seeing them converge for a con or event. See everyone soon at ShmooCon! (First favorite is being surprised to see friends in random locations we were both at without knowing)

It still boggles my mind that loony tunes routinely referenced one of the most depressing characters in American literature. youtu.be/gKxrJQlSMXs

Is there anything as good of a value as the elgato camlink for actually capturing 4k video? Almost all the 4k capture things you find are really 4k pass-thru w/ 1080p capture.
Instagram must have recently made it harder to share URls without doxing yourself. On the mobile app you have to share the page, then paste into an incognito session then copy the new URL without the igsh parameter.
It's been over a decade since I first heard it, but pronouncing HackerOne like it rhymes with macaroni will never not be funny to me
Been experimenting with apple intelligence. I can ask it to show me the hourly temperatures for tomorrow. But ask it at what hour during the day it will get warmer or colder than a specific temp? Nope. This feels very doable...
Setting enums in Binary Ninja previously broke down when any enum member was set to zero. @binary.ninja 4.3.x now ignores any 0 value for enums, when used as bitfield masks, to aid readability. www.seandeaton.com/enums-just-g... #binaryninja #binja #ida #ghidra #reverseengineering #decompiler
Enums Just Got So Much Better in Binary Ninja
Enums in Binary Ninja have always been nice, but they are even better in the latest 4.3 update.

Ok, this might be the neatest #BinaryNinja feature– `current_function.request_debug_report("high_level_il")` It renders the decision tree that the decompiler followed, step by step, to decompile that specific function until it reaches the intended level (High Level IL in this case).
