In Talk::Overflow #19, I’ve curated the technical highlights from RE//verse 2025, the new reverse engineering conference organized by the team behind Binary Ninja.
Unlike broad security conferences, this event focused on the practicalities of binary analysis and hardware-level research. Here are three highlights that signal where the field is moving:
Markus Gaasedelen on the original Xbox: A masterclass in full-stack RE, combining hardware techniques like CPU interposers and X-rays with software emulation.
Natalie Silvanovich (Project Zero): A systematic breakdown of discovery workflows for fully-remote bugs, prioritizing attack surface analysis over ad-hoc hunting.
Cindy Xiao on Rust: A practical guide to reconstructing type information from optimized Rust binaries—a growing requirement as the language becomes a target for RE.
For builders and security engineers, these examples illustrate a shift toward more automated, interdisciplinary analysis. Look at the post for more talks and more details — feel free to share any feedback.
