My introduction to his work was "The future of RE Dynamic Binary Visualization"[0] which completely blew me away. It still feels futuristic today, 13 years later. Novel UI/UX paradigms like this are slow to find widespread adoption, even when they're so clearly demonstrated to be such an ideal fit for their purpose.

I love digraphs. I learned about them from that talk's associated paper... but only about 2 years ago. I've been dumping my system and GPU RAM raw and visualizing via digraphs and it's amazing how such a simple algorithm operating on arbitrary bytes leads to such distinct and consistent image.

TBH with the DDD debugger you had a graph with the C structures right away.

If this is the same dude I am thinking of, his wife is also the CISO of Mozilla and do security research together, afair they have a whole book on x86 reverse engineering.

Very cool!

He did a fantastic job of explaining his work.

What do you mean? Did he pass away?

The explanation that appears in this repo seems largely LLM-generated. It's punchy, to be sure, but I wouldn't call it CLEAR

I had to look at the comments here to understand what was going on

So maybe he USED to explain things well, but that's not on display

His talks are pretty good, I think that’s what people meant. But yeah, the readmes are really hard to follow and feel very ai generated too

His way of explaining things clearly seems to have done so

I saw a recent video and I was shocked that he had hair:

He looks so different.

His stuff is something else.

Alright, a new series to binge now.
