Reverse Engineering #

Since 2024 I’ve done a lot of reverse engineering and binary exploitation (aka “pwn”) challenges in my free time.

Architectures #

Most of the reverse engineering challenges have focused on x86 and x86_64 executables, usually targeting Linux.

As a result I’m proficient in reading and understanding assembly to understand disassembled x86/64 programs.

Static Analysis #

I’ve done a lot of static analysis for various capture the flag projects, I have experience in Ghidra and IDA but now tend to prefer Binary Ninja.

Most of the projects I’ve completed have required analysing programs originally written in C. As a result I’ve become proficient in analysing C-based programs via decompilation and disassembly. I have some limited experience reverse engineering programs written in C++.

Dynamic Analysis/Debugging #

I use gdb and radare2 for dynamic analysis, most often for binary exploitation challenges.
