Reverse Engineering
Why perform Reverse Engineering?
Find security flaws in software or firmware, analyze how exploits work (e.g., buffer overflows, RCEs) and help patch or mitigate vulnerabilities. Verify the security of third-party or closed-source software and ensure there are no hidden backdoors or insecure implementations.
Understand how malware behaves, spreads, and communicates. Develop detection signatures and removal tools.
Analyze binaries or artifacts found during a breach and reconstruct attacker behavior and tools. Reverse undocumented protocols used in malware C2 (command and control) and decode custom encryption or obfuscation methods. Attribute malware to threat actors based on code reuse or techniques and track evolution of malware families and toolkits.
At Honey Badger Consulting we are specialized in assessing your custom binaries and protocols to have a deep understanding of your associated risks. We use the most skilled specialists in the field to do a deep dive into your products and avoid potential incidents as a result of vulnerabilities (such a memory mismanagement and weak binary protection methods).
What is the goal of Reverse Engineering?
The goal of cyber reverse engineering is to analyze and understand digital systems, software, or malware in order to enhance cybersecurity defenses, uncover vulnerabilities, and understand threats.
