046 - Never Reveal the Prestige Mar 18, 2021

Show notes

Cam Hackett and Lucien Brulé from Ramagine.com joined us to talk about their process of talking to a lot of security researchers and reverse engineers to develop a NSF report (why yes we are trying to find/get our hands on it) and how they used what they found to create their RE sharing tool. We tackle the world of RE from a different perspective which includes the importance of business development and what is market research.

One of the largest takeaways they found was a 3.5 Million job gap where RE skills are needed that is relatively hidden.

045 - Rizin and Cutter Feb 15, 2021

Show notes

Jen and Alvaro chat with Florian Märkl (metallic.software) and Itay Cohen (megabeets.net) about the open source reverse engineering tools Rizin and Cutter.

Florian and Itay are part of the core development team for Rizin and Cutter, which forked from radare2 in December of 2020. To learn more about the project, check out the Rizin FAQ. For a quick getting started guide, check out the Rizin Book.

Florian also recommends watching Arnau's talks on beginner r2/Rizin concepts here:

You can chat with the Rizin/Cutter community on their mattermost chat.

043 - Filling In Zeros Dec 21, 2020

Show notes

Our guest was Dmitry Grinberg who shared his pokewalker project which included a H8 family processor by Renasas. Read his detailed paper for more info. As we chatted about his previous projects (see episode 2), we discovered he has influenced others. We spend a lot of time chatting about different processor architectures and key choices in older ones (Really just 2, 8051 and 6502).

He is officially our first repeat guest. See episode 2 to remember our previous chat.

Dmitry mentioned looking at the Sparkfun Prototype HARP.

Open Source FPGA and related people like Tim Ansell.

Hack A Day's "Goodbye 2020!" Contest is running until the end of the year.

Bonus features of this episode: One of the hosts stressed the boundaries of the recording platform. Find out who!
