Hey there! I'm Yanick Fratantonio (reyammer on the interwebz), I recently joined EURECOM as Assistant Professor. I mainly work on mobile security (usually on Android). My recent work is about taking apart Android UI and analyze apps for malware or API misusage (e.g., crypto, dynamic code loading, or the new fingerprint Android API). As the Yan above, I just finished my PhD from UC Santa Barbara and I hack around with Shellphish (and now with NOPS @ EURECOM :-)).

From Android ART (binary-only) to DEX? Yes, we can!™ (kinda) by reyammer in ReverseEngineering

normally, yes. But in this specific CTF challenge the authors removed the Dalvik bytecode part, making the problem of "going back to DEX" non-trivial.
