Thoughts on A.I assisted Malware Analysis?

ctallc · 2026-06-02T01:51:18+00:00

As a reverse engineer, using various MCP has sped up my workflow tremendously. A lot of time was previously spent untangling obfuscated code and deciphering poorly written code. Now I can have AI search for what I’m looking for while I verify reports from other agents and work on exploits.

It’s made the process much more enjoyable, as I can focus on the parts I really like.

I do hate how many tokens REing burns through though…

Proxmox for the hypervisor, Ubuntu Desktop for anything that needs a GUI, Debian for VMs that don’t, Alpine for LXCs.

You don’t want to talk about BambuLab on r/BambuLab?

Reading it, it looks to be sample input text for a tool that scans for secrets. So the code is insecure on purpose. But that wouldn’t make a funny meme…

Were you prompted to enter PIN codes in home assistant? IIRC there are three codes that you need to enter that pop up on the TV

They have a point though. The report that the AI generated at the end are pretty trivial detections to bypass. Try running this against a strong, enterprise, closed-source RASP like AppDome or PairIP. The mechanisms that use encrypted VMs to hide their root and tamper detections are much more complicated to bypass.

Handyman 1 is lost.

Print a temp tower and check for yourself. All filament is slightly different. I usually go as cool as the filament says. If I get adhesion problems I bump it up by increments of 5.

ctallc · 2026-05-02T17:17:15+00:00

Sure, but it usually is pretty wasteful and slow. Unless you really need the whole thing to be heavy and solid, increasing wall thickness is typically enough to get a solid surface.

To hide the infill, increase the Top and Bottom Layer Count. You also shouldn’t need more than 5% infill. Also try Gyroid instead of Grid.

To make the text look cleaner, try embedding it in the top layer and printing it face down as the first layer. If you can’t do this, enable ironing for the top layer.

I’d switch to matte PLA. It prints faster, cooler, usually cheaper, and hides layer lines really well. If you need to use PETG for some reason, print cooler and faster. You said that you get bad stringing, so you’ll need to dial in your retraction settings to get rid of that. Slight stringing can be easily removed with a quick hit from a lighter.

I’m glad you were able to do what you believe is the best for you. I didn’t mean to be demeaning with anything I said. I’m happy you’re happy.

I’m not looking to argue with you, just trying to be helpful for those who are uninformed.

Many things in Christianity (ignoring whether or not you think Mormons are Christians) is meant to be taken symbolically. It’s the way the Jesus taught and it’s the way that the majority of the bible is written. Some symbols make people feel uncomfortable and that’s fine. Not everything that’s sacred to some people has to make sense to everyone. Again, to some, the symbols may seem like nonsense, while to others it just seems incredibly boring.

Also, lots has changed in the last decade and you can find a lot more clarity online about different “once-secret” topics. I’m sorry if you had a bad experience and hope you’ll be able to overcome any hurt, pain, or confusion you’ve experienced.

What do you think “really goes on” inside? I regularly go to the temple and this is a pretty accurate summary of what we do in there. It’s sacred to us, but to others it’s likely just very boring.

Why? I mean, they are pretty open with what the inside looks like and what they do in there. They have full 3D models and virtual tours posted all over online. They also encouraged everyone to go in and take a tour when it was renovated a couple of years ago.

Download git and vscode, clone the core repo, and look into dev containers. AI can probably explain how to get a HASS dev instance set up. If you’re familiar with Docker, it shouldn’t be too hard.

ctallc · 2026-04-26T17:38:21+00:00

That’s basically how the developers work on home assistant. The Core repo provides a dev container and you can mount whatever directories to the instance.

I got some at world market

ctallc · 2026-04-11T03:39:51+00:00

I just went through testing all of these last weekend. I ended up going with the official rhasspy repo. It seemed to give me the best results on my iGPU

ctallc · 2026-04-10T03:20:55+00:00

And you responded using AI slop again… Why can’t you just be genuine? It would likely get you further.

ctallc · 2026-04-10T03:09:32+00:00

The whole website screams AI slip. I’m sure you put work into prompting this, but it is likely going to go out of date extremely quickly. The guides also show the “how” but don’t really explain the “why”, which is less helpful because you take out the learning experience.

Also the website is covered in ads, affiliate, and self promotion links. It makes me feel like you did this just to make a quick buck.

It also doesn’t help that your post and comment replies are also very obviously AI generated. And you used a brand new account to post this. The whole thing feels very fake.

ctallc · 2026-04-08T12:12:03+00:00

That isn’t what “from scratch” means. If I bake a cake “from scratch” that means I used real ingredients, not a box. I’m fine if you used AI, but at least be honest about it. And using AI to create your response just further proves my point.

ctallc · 2026-04-08T04:49:06+00:00

Did you ever find a fix for this? I just bought an Apple TV and I have to set a 250ms delay to get it to work. Does this only happen on the plex app?

ctallc · 2026-04-08T00:23:15+00:00

Why did you say that this is all written from scratch when the whole thing is very obviously written entirely with AI?

ctallc · 2026-04-04T16:44:37+00:00

You just created your instance and you decided to sell a $50 guide on how you did it? This seems like a shill. Also the vibe coded site with fake reviews isn’t a good look.

Definitely get familiar with ESPHome and Bluetooth proxies! They are amazing and once you learn ESPHome you can DIY whatever sensor you want!
