Reimplement decompiler integration by k4lizen · Pull Request #3401 · pwndbg/pwndbg Okay this is a chonker. See the docs/tutorials/decompiler-integration.md for some overview. And docs/assets/caps/decomp_integration_ex.png for an image example vs previous implementation pros we d...

Happy New Year's Eve! Our tool for placing decompilation (symbols, source, types) into the debugger (gdb) is now officially integrated into pwndbg! You will have access to it (decomp2dbg) in your next default install of pwndbg 🎉

Happy hacking:

Do LLMs actually help hackers reverse engineer and understand the software they want to exploit?

We ran the first fine-grained human study of LLMs + reverse engineering.
To appear at NDSS 2026.

Empirical Security Analysis of Software-based Fault Isolation through Controlled Fault Injection We use browsers daily to access all sorts of information. Because browsers routinely process scripts, media, and executable code from unknown sources, they form a critical security boundary between us...

📢 Excited to announce that the results on BaseBridge, our project on improving cellular baseband emulation, are going public this week. Dyon will present at IEEE S&P on Monday 3pm, while David and I will be on stage at @offensivecon.bsky.social on Saturday 11am with even more details! 1/6

Thanks for having me, it was a lot of fun to discuss these topics :)

🔥 No fuzz drivers needed. Our paper on injecting greybox fuzzers into running systems at user-defined amplifier points (in-vivo fuzzing) was accepted at #ICSE25!
