Show HN: Your binary is no longer safe
seddonm1 Monday, February 16, 2026This post is about the brute-force reverse engineering of binary (compiled) programs using Large Language Models (LLMs) to automate this two-part problem: decompilation and conversion to a modern programming language.
The most interesting part for most will likely be the demonstration on how to use differential-property testing to automate the LLM feedback loop for the rewrite (translation) phase (in this case to rewrite to Rust).
This that I believe would solve the 'rewrite issues' discussed recently here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46954696
Summary
The article discusses the increasing security challenges faced by modern software applications, highlighting how malicious actors can exploit vulnerabilities in compiled binaries to gain unauthorized access or execute malicious code. It emphasizes the importance of implementing robust security measures throughout the software development lifecycle to protect against these threats.
