Want to hear #Rust #metamorphic #malware, early bird APC, module stomping, #Android TV botnets, ransomware encrypting #LLM training files and more? All of this was at @virusbtn.bsky.social last week. An excellent edition! My notes of what I personally learned: cryptax.github.io/posts/vb2026/

This week, I am at @virusbtn.bsky.social and so happy to present again. It's a "simple case" - convincing bank fraud - which can potentially hit 15% of the population ! Defeats security measures by social engineering. What happens when you trust the wrong person? Come and hear live.
Blogged on Labuba RAT: cryptax.github.io/posts/labuba... My blog post is focused on reversing some anti-analysis features of the malware. For a general (technical) overview of the malware, read this blackpointcyber.com/blog/labub

How 100 hospitals switched to pen and paper to defeat a national cyber-attack. Here is our in-depth 10 minute YouTube documentary which we produced about the incredible response of Romanian cyber security teams and the unseen heroics of doctors and nurses in 2024. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxY6...
Back from Capture The Evidence v2 organized by @eternalblue-off.bsky.social . It's an investigation-oriented CTF. All challenges and scenario are in French, but my blog is in English to motivate you to learn French and participate to the next edition ;P cryptax.github.io/posts/cte-v2/
Last Friday, I was at Auvergn'hack, a small single-tracked conference in the middle of France. A very friendly atmosphere, beautiful weather, great venue, and several very interesting talks. cryptax.github.io/posts/auverg... #landlock #opencode #auvergne #quantum #crypto #conference #CTF
Ce vendredi, atelier "reverse avec IA" à Auvergn'hack : www.auvergnhack.fr - Configurer OpenCode - Installer Ghidra + son serveur MCP - Créer un agent et des skills pour le reverse - Résoudre divers challenges CTF et CrackMe avec IA - Visual Studio Code + Cline - Rétro-ingénierie de Saint Nectaire

If you want to learn to use #AI #agents and #skills, my new blog post might interest you. It's about the setup I used to play @1ns0mn1h4ck.bsky.social CTF. Obviously, this is *not* the way to go to learn #CTF skills... cryptax.medium.com/agent-skills...

Ph0wn Mag #3 eZine is out! With writeups of FrangiPh0wn (teaser of Ph0wn) and Ph0wn CTF 2026 github.com/ph0wn/writeu...
What's particularly cool about Ph0wn CTF? 1. It's onsite. If you haven't ever been to an onsite CTF, you absolutely must. 2. It's dedicated to connected devices, so you get to interact with tons of equipment! 3. The challenges are really awesome, yes, yes. Register at ph0wn.org - March 13/14
Oh? Rust based keylogger?!
Arctic Wolf Labs tracks SloppyLemming, an India-nexus espionage actor targeting Pakistan and Bangladesh. The report details two attack chains: PDF-driven sideloading that deploys BurrowShell and an Excel macro chain that delivers a Rust-based keylogger. arcticwolf.com/resources/bl...

Best talks, papers, CTF challenges, tools I encountered in the second half of 2025: cryptax.github.io/nomination-2... Congratulations to those who are listed, and kudos to others :) cc: @trufae.bsky.social @uybhys.bsky.social @nst021.bsky.social @synacktiv.com
Variants of 2025 of Symbiote and BPFDoor support IPv6, UDP communication with C2. Reverse engineering the samples with r2ai and r2mcp. www.fortinet.com/blog/threat-... #malware #Linux #BPF #r2ai #r2mcp
Pour mon atelier "Reverse engineering with r2ai" à @uybhys.bsky.social demain, si vous avez un laptop x86, téléchargez en avance l'image: docker pull cryptax/r2ai:2025.11 #radare2 #IA #r2ai #UYBHYS25 #docker #workshop
Ca va parler de Radare2, de Ghidra, de MCP et d'assembleur en tout genre. L'objectif est d'utiliser l'IA pour faciliter la rétro-ingénierie. L'IA ne fait pas tout (par exemple, elle ne fait pas les crêpes que je compte déguster sur place), mais elle aide ... si on sait l'utiliser. Venez !

#UYBHYS A l'occasion de #UYBHYS25, de 10h à 17h les vendredi 7 et samedi 8 novembre, @ratzillas.bsky.social animera, sur le parvis du #Quartz à #Brest, un atelier de démonstration de "Car Hacking", accessible à toutes et tous sans inscription. 🙂

#UYBHYS #UYBHYS25 #Brest Il reste encore des places pour quelques ateliers de vendredi et pour la journée de conférences de samedi. Billetterie : pretix.eu/cantine/UYBH...
Setting up your laptop before the workshop: - It helps if you have already installed Radare2: radare.org/n/radare2.html . - If you want to isolate your own OS from the workshop, I recommend Exegol, or Docker, or a Kali VM. #radare2 #exegol #docker #kali #brucon
Slides of my prez at Barb'hack: www.fortiguard.com/events/6189/... Understand what a recent sample of Linux/Trigona #ransomware does. Learn how to spot #AI errors (hallucinations, omissions etc), learn how to tweak context length, output token limits to get the best out of your model. #barbhack25
One of the demos is here: asciinema.org/a/pBPEaJhp6c... It demonstrates the automatic mode of r2ai, where we can ask a question whose answer requires to read/understand several functions of the binary. #radare2 #r2ai #AI #LLM
I've very happy to speak at Barb'hack on Saturday. barbhack.fr/2025/fr/conf... There will be 2 demos. One live. One recorded - simply because I don't have the guts to do it live ;P We reverse engineer Linux/Trigona and Linux/Shellcode with radare2 + AI + HI HI standards for Human Intelligence ;P
