About this tag
Binary analysis on WindowsForum.com covers the use of AI and large language models to decompile and reverse engineer raw machine code, including legacy firmware and malware. Discussions highlight how tools like LLMs can surface latent bugs in old binaries, such as a 40-year-old Apple II utility, and lower the technical barrier for both security defenders and attackers. Microsoft's Project Ire is also featured as an autonomous AI agent that performs binary analysis for advanced malware detection without human intervention. These threads explore the implications for firmware security, embedded systems, and enterprise cybersecurity, emphasizing the growing role of AI in automating reverse engineering and vulnerability discovery.

    LLMs Decompile Firmware at Scale: The Apple II Demo and Firmware Security

    Mark Russinovich, Microsoft Azure’s chief technology officer, has quietly turned a 40‑year‑old Apple II utility he wrote as a teenager into a sobering demonstration: modern large language models can decompile raw machine code, reason about its control flow, and surface real bugs in...

    AI Uncovers Hidden Bugs in Legacy Firmware with Apple II Demo

    Mark Russinovich's thirty‑plus‑year‑old Apple II utility has become an unlikely canary in a rapidly evolving threat: modern large language models can reverse engineer raw machine code and surface latent bugs — even in 6502 binaries typed into a magazine in 1986 — and that capability both helps...
