Intezer says AI eased reverse engineering of Slack, Finder, and Turla
Original title: AI Makes Reverse Engineering Mainstream Software & Malware Far Easier
Each target needed a different harness, and Turla was harder to reconstruct than the proprietary apps.
Intezer researchers said AI tools let small teams unpack and map large applications that previously required assembly experience and long analysis. They tested Slack, Apple's Finder, and the Turla malware, and found recreating the proprietary apps only moderately challenging. Turla was the most difficult target. The work raises concerns about easier intellectual-property theft and malware analysis. The published excerpt cuts off during the method description.
