- Reposted by SeanOur first video from RE//verse 2025 is live! Part journey of personal discovery, part technical deep-dive, this presentation from Markus Gaasedelen was the highest rated in the feedback survey and is a must-see talk:

- How well does Binary Ninja's decompiler utilize Apple Silicon P-cores? Pretty well. If you're a reverse engineer looking for a new machine, opt for more cores. Seems obvious, but I had to test. 😊 #binaryninja #ghidra #ida #macOS #decompiler #reverseengineering www.seandeaton.com/decompilers-...
- It turns out that activating an iPhone 3G in 2025 isn't as easy as opening up Finder and restoring. I've written up a blog post to help anyone else in this predicament. 😃 #ios #iphone #iphone3g #macos #apple www.seandeaton.com/activating-a...
- If you're not utilizing 150% of your available RAM, you're leaving money on the table. Or at least that's what I tell myself so I don't need to upgrade quite yet... #apple #macos
- Binary diff'ing is hard. But it's super powerful to apply markup from previous reverse engineering efforts to a new binary. Binary Ninja is switching up how they match function signatures with WARP. www.seandeaton.com/binary-ninja... #binaryninja #reverseengineering #ghidra #ida #decompiler
- Swap is going to kill this SSD. Also check out their new DSC plugin. Works great. #binaryninja #reverseengineering
- Reposted by SeanOh nice, my Binary Ninja Wrapped 2024 is in!!
- 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
- Highly recommend checking out @lukasarnld.bsky.social’s talk on the iOS baseband. It’s up on the OBTS YouTube livestream right now. Video out in a couple days?
- Thanks for joining my talk about iPhone basebands at #OBTS #OBTSv7. It’s an awesome experience in Maui, and I’m looking forward to the rest of the conference. You can find the slides at lukasarnold.de/pdfs/obts7-t...
- What could be better than surfing in the morning and then hacking with @naehrdine.bsky.social and Alex in their Objective by the Sea training “Practical iOS App, User-, and Kernel-Space Reverse-Engineering” #iOS #obts #maui
- Everyday ought to be regulated as if it closed the series, as if it rounded out and completed our existence. Seneca’s letters to Lucilius, letter 12. How are you living your last day?
- Reversing C++ structures can be tricky. Binary Ninja makes it easier. I wrote up a walkthrough to clean up those pesky vtables. @binary.ninja www.seandeaton.com/gotta-re-em-... #binaryninja #reverseengineering #ghidra #ida
- So I benchmarked how much faster the newer Apple silicon chips were in decompiling programs with Binary Ninja. No surprise, the M2 Ultra performed well. Also, RAM is important. @binary.ninja #binaryninja #reverseengineering #mac
- Reposted by SeanDYLD 👀 it's getting better and better with iOS reversing support!
- There are tons of YouTube videos comparing Apple’s M4 lineup against Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, etc. We need a channel or blog for reverse engineers that shows how much faster I can decompile the dyld shared cache with the M4 Max over the Pro. 🤔
