Automatic Protocol Reverse Engineering

Explore automatic protocol reverse engineering in this 34-minute Black Hat conference talk. Delve into the process of extracting network protocol specifications from binary code implementations. Discover how this technique can be applied to various security contexts, including identifying implementation bugs, verifying standard conformance, and uncovering botnet command and control protocols. Learn about a new tool that automates the traditionally time-consuming manual reverse engineering process, enabling more efficient protocol analysis directly from binary files. Presented by Ron Marcovich and Gabi Nakibly, this talk offers valuable insights into advanced techniques for understanding and dissecting network protocols.
