Can AI Reverse Engineer? Exploring the New Frontier

Reverse Engineering: the dark art of figuring out what that mystery code does without any comments (thanks, Dave). It's hard work! But wait! The AI prophets have descended, proclaiming machines can do it better, faster, probably while composing a symphony. Can they really? We'll venture into the wild frontier where algorithms meet assembly language, armed with healthy skepticism and maybe some popcorn. See AI attempt daring feats of decompilation! Watch it try to sniff out vulnerabilities! Witness its struggles against code that looks like spaghetti thrown at a wall! We’ll check out the state-of-play in early 2025, laugh at some of the limitations, and ultimately decide if AI is the RE cheat code we've been dreaming of, or just a really complex Magic 8-Ball.
