At the 2019 RSA Conference, the NSA published a press release announcing the release of a tool for reverse engineering. Yes, you’ve read that correctly, the NSA.

IDA Pro is a powerful commercial tool, and I can see why it’s the tool of choice for many professionals. The most widely referenced tool for reverse engineering code is IDA Pro. However, in my experience, this tends to have limited success with raw binary files (I’m sure people far more skilled than myself have greater success). Many toolchains will supply BinUtils tools, such as GCC’s arm-none-eabi-objdump. Once you’ve got a raw binary file, the challenge is to disassemble that. ![]() As an instructor, I know how often you run out of time based on student questions and lab work. Ideally, I would have liked an extra day (it was already 4-days). Note that this is not meant as any criticism of an excellent course. So I decided to follow along with the very comprehensive notes and finish the last lab. Unfortunately, we ran out of time to finish the last labs during the training (we ran 9 am-6 pm each day). Part of the course involved Assessing and Exploiting Embedded Firmware by reading on-chip Flash using OpenOCD. During the first week of December, I had the pleasure of attending a training course at BlackHat Europe 2022 titled Assessing and Exploiting Control Systems and IIoT run by Justin Searle. ![]()
