Ero Carerra: Reverse Engineering Automation with Python

Black Hat Briefings, USA 2007 [Audio] Presentations from the security conference.

Instead of discussing a complex topic in detail, this talk will discuss 4 different very small topics related to reverse engineering, at a length of 5 minutes each, including some work on intermediate languages for reverse engineering and malware classification.
Ero Carrera is currently a reverse engineering automation researcher at SABRE Security, home of BinDiff and BinNavi. Ero has previously spent several years as a Virus Researcher at F-Secure where his main duties ranged from reverse engineering of malware to research in analysis automation methods. Prior to F-Secure, he was involved in miscellaneous research and development projects and always had a passion for mathematics, reverse engineering and computer security.
While at F-Secure he advanced the field of malware classification introducing a joint paper with Gergely Erdelyi on applying genomic methods to binary structural classification. Other projects he's worked on include seminal research on generic unpacking.
Additionally, Ero is a habitual lurker on OpenRCE and has contributed to miscellaneous reverse engineering tools such as pydot, pype, pyreml and idb2reml.
