Industry updates
Reverse engineering is the analysis of software, binaries, protocols and firmware without access to source code or a specification, together with the tools and methods behind it. The reports come from English, Russian and Chinese sources and are summarised for developers and technical decision makers, with attribution and a link to the original.
A custom Android app and BLE presence protocol streamline switching between two phones connected to one Carlinkit Android Auto dongle. The project also includes hardware monitoring, signed-release automation, and research into the dongle’s behavior.
The Mobile-Reverse-Skill project gives Claude Code and Codex a staged workflow for mobile reverse engineering, with explicit records of observations, hypotheses, verified findings, and failures. It is intended for mobile capture-the-flag exercises, learning, and authorized application-security research.
A reverse-engineering project reproduced Luckin Coffee's nearby-store API with a pure Node.js script, without launching WeChat or requiring a login. The reported breakthrough was recovering a missing user identifier rather than defeating the virtual machine or encryption.
A research implementation searches roughly 130,000 one-byte variants of a 4096-bit RSA modulus without factoring each candidate independently. It computes divisibility for all 256 values at each byte position in one pass over small primes, then filters candidates before costly Miller-Rabin tests.
