When AI Reverse Engineer Time Travels
Reverse engineering is a core part of malware analysis and vulnerability research, where analysts must understand opaque, often obfuscated binaries without access to source code. Frontier models are beginning to transform this workflow by helping triage decompiler output, drive analysis tools, and accelerate investigations, but static analysis alone can still lead models down convincing yet incorrect paths. This talk explores how integrating Codex with Time Travel Debugging traces through TTDObjectsPy helps ground analysis in real execution history, reducing false confidence and enabling more reliable, evidence-driven reverse engineering.
