Reverse engineering enters the cheap era
Advances in AI and tooling are dramatically lowering the cost and skill barrier for reverse engineering software and hardware. A new post on Simon Willison's blog highlights how techniques once reserved for experts are now accessible to hobbyists and small teams. This shift could accelerate security research but also make it easier for malicious actors to analyze proprietary systems.
