Interesting tool! In Rizin[1][2] we have a "visual bits" mode, see "Vb1" command. Moreover, there's "rz-ax" command, supporting various number systems and bits, see "rz-ax -h" help. [1] https:&#

Biggest problem of cryonics is to know if that extensive damage made by extreme cold is reversible, even with the most advanced tech. Another problem is the lack of guarantees that 100 years later the same company would care about frozen pe

At least most of the decompiler logic comes from formal methods, thus reducing possible edge cases compared to statistics. There's a room for AI in reversing, but it should be a specifically trained model with a carefully extracted fea

They should just abandon MSVC and invest into LLVM/Clang, like everyone else does. Will resolve a lot of incompatibility problems, and will bring more tools for developers.
