https://www.youtube.com/@evandotpro Recently started live streaming my paramotor flights on YouTube. Been streaming on Twitch for a while, but I don't have any of the chat interaction stuff set up with YouTube yet. Honestly only started streaming to YouTube since they retain the recordings. One of my favs, I got to fly and live stream in the center of totality during the solar eclipse: https://youtu.be/VZ-xxaJIkCg I'…

That eclipse video is awesome! And today I learned about paramotors for the first time. What a cool hobby!

I don't make videos about technical topics for the most part, but I certainly do have a YouTube channel, where I talk about speedrun tech, glitches and video game mechanics, among other things:

Unfortunately, I'm not very consistent with the upload schedule, and have been struggling to migrate away from being too focused on a few topics, and towards more longform videos.

https://www.youtube.com/@lauriewired I talk about Reverse Engineering/Malware Research, Computing History, and low level programming.

How did you get into reverse engineering?

I had a couple of courses in Amsterdam (from VUSEC), but never really pursued it afterwards. It's fun, but I couldn't imagine doing it full-time.

Work + Personal research. The main industry usecase for RE is malware analysis.

The flow is essentially: 1. Break down a sample to determine behavior; this is usually a mixture of static (decompilation) and dynamic (running the sample in a safe env /w a debugger) analysis.

2. Write a signature / detection based on unique identifiers you discover inside the payload. This is where the real skill comes in; being extremely clever with Regex is helpful here.

It's a tricky game to keep up with malware developers. Write a signature too specific, and all they have to do is recompile with a few string changes to defeat you. Conversely, if a detection is too broad, you run the risk of detecting benign software (aka a False Positive or FP).
