BruCON 0x0B

Analyzing a binary or firmware often starts from a more or less blank page of assembly code. Decompilers such as the Hexrays or Ghidra decompiler can make assembly code more readable but if symbol information such as function names, user defined structures or class information are missing it can still be a mess to work through.

Enriching you project with symbol information is a lot of work but in the end can be the difference of successfully achieving your reversing/bug finding goals.

Within this workshop i will present various approaches and open source tools to add symbol information to a real world firmware and then will train to use these with the attendees inside a prebuild virtual machine.
