- Quite slick. Thanks for sharing the example source as well. 🙂
- 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...

- Love this! I just finished chapter four today (not in Korean 😆). Thanks for sharing your expertise.
- 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
- 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

- Thank you for sharing! I’ll give them a read this week!
- 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
- 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...

- Great talk. I learned a ton. Going to check out your app this weekend. 🤙
- 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?

- About to do the same lol.
- 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
- DYLD 👀 it's getting better and better with iOS reversing support!
- Don't Panic! The answer: version 4.2 of Binary Ninja, is now available. Check out the release blog post which shows: - New PseudoC/Python/Rust decompilation - DLYD Shared Cache Support - WARP Signature System And many other impactful features. binary.ninja/2024/11/20/4.2-frog…
- Can confirm this works pretty well. Mapping in one .dylib at a time is certainly saving my SSD from all that previous swap. Thanks @binary.ninja.
- 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. 🤔
- How does the new iOS inactivity reboot work? What does it protect from? I reverse engineered the kernel extension and the secure enclave processor, where this feature is implemented. naehrdine.blogspot.com/2024/11/reve...
- Thanks for sharing a great writeup! This was something I was super curious about.
