The Future of Reverse Engineering with LLMs

Explore the current applications and future potential of Large Language Models (LLMs) in reverse engineering in this 26-minute conference talk from Recon2024 by Tim Blazytko and Moritz Schloegel. Discover how LLMs are transforming code analysis while addressing challenges like inaccuracies and privacy concerns. Learn about ReverserAI, a platform designed to expand LLM capabilities in reverse engineering, and see demonstrations of local, privacy-focused LLM setups that overcome existing limitations. Examine how combining LLMs with traditional static analysis techniques can significantly improve outputs, particularly for malware analysis. Gain insights into identifying and naming API functions in statically-linked executables, and understand the future trajectory of LLM technology in advancing reverse engineering practices. Presented by Tim Blazytko, binary security researcher and co-founder of emproof, and Moritz Schloegel, binary security researcher at CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security.
