Willy is an undergraduate at MIT studying computer science and engineering with an emphasis on cryptography and systems security. His research interests range from theoretical computer science to cryptovirology, combining malware with cryptography.

Abstract

Whenever people think of software reverse engineering they imagine looking at code traces, assembly code, or hex data. What if you could just analyze the patterns in files by viewing the structure of the binary? I will be presenting a tool created by Christopher Domas aka the.delta.axiom called ..cantor.dust.. that allows reverse engineers to visualize binary data in interesting ways. This will be a summary of his talk at REcon 2013.
