For years, the FLARE team has been committed to "open-sourcing" the specialized knowledge required to defend against the world's most sophisticated threats. Today, we’re taking that a step further. There has long been a gap in cybersecurity education. We have plenty of courses that teach you how to navigate a disassembler or interpret decompiler output, but almost none that teach you to master the compiler-level primitives required to both build and break modern obfuscation. We’re debuting a first-of-its-kind training at @BlackHatEvents: "Syntactical Supremacy: Defeating and Designing Nation-State Obfuscation." This is an immersive deep dive into LLVM, Intermediate Representation (IR)s and creating transformation passes. We’re moving past the "black box" of the decompiler to show you how to: - Day 1 (Defense): Use the ScatterBrain obfuscating-compiler to learn how to recover scattered control flow logic and opaque predicates, and programmatically rewrite binaries. - Day 2 (Offense): Write custom C++ LLVM passes to architect the very same transformations used by Scatterbrain to truly understand them inside and out. In an age where LLMs are scaling code complexity, understanding the "source of truth" in the compiler pipeline is the ultimate advantage. Join us in Las Vegas to turn the "black box" of compiler-based obfuscation into a tool in your own arsenal. 🔗 Register by May 22: https://bit.ly/3P2L8U5 #BHUSA #ReverseEngineering #Mandiant #FLARE #GoogleCloudSecurity #LLVM
