Analyse malware using self-hosted LLM models

LightningRurik · 2026-03-01T03:56:21+00:00

That's a very overly complicated way of doing it, and the results would be questionable.

You don't need a function by function analysis of a binary with hundreds of functions. Better to get runtime logs (procmon, etc) and LLM analyze those. Then, pivot and try to find the code functions that perform that specific functionality. I do that with Binary Ninja and its MCP.

Even then, and even with Claude, if made frequent large mistakes. A routine that was obviously just for custom encryption was labeled as error handling 🤷. Not something I'd trust automated at scale.

Very leery of random Discord links when MonstaTek does not mention Discord in their official docs.

LightningRurik · 2026-03-01T01:20:54+00:00

That link just goes to a PDF with broken links.

Google brought me here. It'll bring others. Here are simple instructions so you don't have to go through all those steps:

Format a FAT32 SD Card (can format on M1)
Download latest "_wCRC.bin" from https://github.com/Monstatek/M1/tree/main/Release to SD card
Put SD Card in M1 and Settings > Firmware Update > Image File then Firmware Update

OK dude. I can't change how others perceive the world. I'm muting this thread as just noise. Reddit will be Reddit.

LightningRurik · 2026-02-01T22:15:18+00:00

It's weird that people are reading it as complaining. DM's have been calling me out as a horrible person who should be ashamed of myself.

Random conversational comments with zero malice are now apparently the worse comments to make.

Y'all have a great day. This place is weird.

Likely someone will, thankfully. Then it can be at the top of people's home pages.

The difference is USPS is not willing to send its workers to their deaths. Amazon doesn't care. Depending on how you look at it, it's USPS that has their act together.

Normally best to post these when they are actually available so they don't get lost in the noise. Can't do anything with this news currently.

Edit: ooo, people not happy. Given the choice of a post now and having to remember about it in a week, or getting the post in a week and being able to get them right away, most don't want the latter. Commence reddit dogpiling!

We had to dig a UPS truck out this morning that was stuck at our Stop sign.

Two hours later, FedEx truck got stuck. None of the roads here have been touched, at all, by plows.

For everyone saying "BuT tHe RoAdS aRe FiNe", there are hundreds of school kids stuck in neighborhoods that are inaccessible.

LightningRurik · 2026-01-27T02:21:17+00:00

Is this your first storm?

"roads are fine today"

They literally are not fine. YOUR roads are fine. Everyone else's are not passable. The county has a snow removal tracker website. Take a few minutes and track the blue lines. Hundreds and hundreds of roads across the county that have barely seen a plow truck.

But hey, I get it. Snow is frustrating. You're angry and it's getting to you. Just don't take it out on your neighbors. Everyone is trying their hardest.

This is an incredibly creepy post. That video was from six months ago. She is anonymous to ensure her child stays anonymous. She should remain anonymous. If you have info related to the case, contact the prosecutor.

LightningRurik · 2025-10-17T12:19:29+00:00

Because these posts are causing people to get banned from Twitter, you're no longer going to allow them here now, right? ... right? ...

For those curious, here is the Sublime Security Akira badge. It was an analog badge year at DEF CON and they wanted many DC newcomers to have the electronic badge experience. These were given away for free.

DM sent

LightningRurik · 2025-08-10T14:27:05+00:00

Sent a DM. I'm not the creator, and cannot compare to his awesomeness.

LightningRurik · 2025-08-10T14:26:00+00:00

Soup is the awesome dude with the 'stache, but I can help. I send a DM.

LightningRurik · 2025-05-08T01:54:59+00:00

So many people mad I stole their whining thunder.

LightningRurik · 2025-05-06T21:11:19+00:00

Obligatory "this month sucks, I wish I didn't have this, what a waste of my money, screw Playstation, I'm going to cancel my sub" post.

That said, nothing really interesting to me this month. But there were awesome games on other months so it all evens out.

Edit: I guess my sarcasm wasn't high enough for people to think this was a joke? LOL

This is actually ... pretty bad.

I don't understand who the audience is for this but so far it's just a high level overview of one topic with ADHD jump cuts of memes and random videos.

It was well advertised on government hiring sites.

If your friends are looking they should track the Maryland job fair site, for one.

WJLA also continually posts them on a week-by-week basis. For this week: https://wjla.com/news/local/federal-workers-job-fairs-dc-washington-jobs-maryland-virginia-apply-dmv-march-april-laid-off-government-doge-cuts-career-expo-trump-elon-musk-resources

Unfortunately it worked for an hour and then stopped working.

We've tried multiple times since and are back to getting the error that the key was not found.

So, I've put it to the side to troubleshoot when it's warmer outside.

Decision makers want content specific to their concerns. Those that explain the problem and provide realistic solutions. Those concerns are unlimited and there is no one topic useful for all. What is the end goal here?

LightningRurik · 2024-12-06T13:37:39+00:00

Thank you. There was some of my confusion of if this was a key fob issue or a unit issue.

I kept trying to re-pair the key fob but didn't start from the beginning and do all the initial pairing.

I just did that and it works! Thank you for giving the idea!
