You can reverse engineer websites at a breathtaking speed if you do it correctly. PeachJam.dev took me approximately 2 months to make, for instance. If I had access to Sol from the start it would likely just take 1 month.
The multiplier comes from being able to design arbitrary fast feedback loops - Claude wrote Python scripts to do decompilation matching for itself, and then use Frida traces from the original as a verification harness.
Don't worry in 5 years you will have bootloader locked washing machines with crypto paired parts. That are protected under DMCA. For your own good and protection of course.
You're joking but I can't wait honestly. The hypocrisy will only become more and more obvious and unbearable to accept for literally everybody. When we'll reach that point, I believe we will look for healthier solutions.
Cheap is a relative term. How many people would pay $5 to reverse engineer a device in their home? There's no way to make a profit off reverse engineering home devices so I expect while this is likely to be one of the most groundbreaking impacts of LLMs, it won't see a ton of adoption until token costs come down.
Send $20 pi zero that will reflash expensive camera, that is out of support. Or do mail business, with reflashing devices.
There are billions out of support devices, and rework is great industry in China. In US you sadly hit legal BS if doing it commercially...
what are some stuff that people are interested in reverse engineering ? ive never done it before but recently got interested after people started porting mario 64 to the playstation.
> what are some stuff that people are interested in reverse engineering ? Software license/key verification. Sometimes it’s as easy as replacing a “JNE” with a “JE”, or replacing “JMP”, or even just “NOP” some “CMP” operation. It’s a fun challenge, at least for people who enjoy solving puzzles.

anything that has a 'not very good' app you are forced to use, everything that imposes 'licensing' limit on hardware you own. e.g. why do I need V380 app to configure and watch the feed of my IP Camera.
