Introduce Yourself

Hello, I'm Extern.

I'm fairly new to the reverse engineering community; I began reverse engineering Xbox 360 (PowerPC) software in 2012 (mostly things like bootloaders, the hypervisor, and the kernel) and this motivated me to move onto researching much more popular and modern architectures -- such as ARM & x86_64.

I joined this forum to take advantage of the great resources that this forum has to offer and to potentially help others along the way!

Hello EXE Tools! Thanks for accepting me as a member to this great community. I look forward to helping others and learning more myself from many others that have more knowledge and experience than me.

I have been a casual reverser for some time, and remember the days of +Fravia and such, but have a longing for deep understanding that only comes with dedication and study. In addition to reversing, I enjoy many aspects of computers and technology. I have a particular interest in hardware and electronics.

Hey everyone,

I'll start off with saying that I'm very glad to become apart of this community. Looking forward to learning and helping out where I can.

I'm in my thirties and from Dublin, Ireland. I'm currently a senior security analyst for $company. My background is a lot of security over the last 15+ years. Everything from security engineer, security consultant, security analyst, sysadmin, unix junkie, coder, pen tester - jack of all trades and expert in nothing

I have been involved in the hacking community in Ireland for a long time now. 10+ years with the Dublin 2600 group and I'm one of the founders of Ireland's first ever hackerspace. I attend at least two hacking conferences or camps a year. Although this year I have to work so I'm missing out on 33c3 in Hamburg and I'm quite sad about it! It was 25c3 in Berlin that inspired a group of us to start the hackerspace in Dublin.

I've always had an interest in reverse engineering but never spent enough quality time doing it permanently, that's been changing over the last year though. I've mostly done it in moments of anger and need in the past. Over the last few months I've dove into the open security training material and I'm now moving through the Practical Malware Analysis book. I also have a convenient supply of malware thanks to work which helps.

My focus is mostly on Windows executables and network protocols. I would however like to spend more time on ELF binaries but I find I deal with them mostly when playing CTF competitions.

Thanks,
Schrodyn (Schrodinger everywhere else ).

Hey everyone,

I am IceSickle and I work as a malware analyst (looking to become a full time reverse engineer). In my free time, I enjoy pentesting and exploit development. When I am not at my computer, you can find me on bike or watching hockey. I look forward to learning and growing here and also helping other do the same!

Cheers!
