Explore the intricacies of binary disassembling in this 21-minute Black Hat conference talk. Delve into a comprehensive study of eight open-source tools, including Ghidra, Angr, McSema, Dyninst, Radare2, Jakstab, Uroboros, and Objdump. Gain insights into the research project, tool selection process, and existing disassemblers. Examine various strategies, error-prone heuristics, and evaluation results. Discover a new approach to binary disassembling and understand the key challenges in making it verification-friendly. Learn how modern Application Binary Interface (ABI) simplifies the process and impacts the field of reverse engineering.
