Malware and Reverse Engineering Conference Insights and Tools

Listen to this Post

I’m excited to attend next week’s Malware and Reverse Engineering conference in Melbourne run by ICSL. As you probably know from my posts, I’m doing a ton of software supply chain research, so I’ve had to create my own Javascript/npm reversing suite of tools. I’m learning a lot, quickly, so I’m looking forward to seeing how the professionals do it.
