Interactive: Everything is Open Source

Disassembling and decompiling code was once considered a highly complicated task, making obfuscating functionality within propriety software a viable strategy for decades. Compiled Rust code in particularly was considered relatively hard to reason about if possible at all, thanks in part to language design and LLVM. However, LLMs have recently leveled the playing field considerably, also in this domain, breaking a great number of assumptions once believed to be safe. From a developer's perspective, this leaves a few interesting questions: How safe is my own code today / how exposed am I really? How much room is there to mitigate this issue, at least in the short term?

This meetup is intended as a small interactive session: Let's compile some demo code, C, Rust, etc., and see how far it can be reversed with contemporary tooling. Bring your laptop, at least a C compiler & Rust set up and your favorite LLM-based assistants.

More details in the weeks before the meetup.
