Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP10 Tim Blazytko - Protecting Intellectual Property: Obfuscation & Anti-Reverse Engineering in Software
Q: What metrics can companies use to gauge the effectiveness of their protections?
There is no definitive metric for IP protection; assessing an attacker's capabilities helps define the level of protection needed.
EP10 Tim Blazytko - Protecting Intellectual Property: Obfuscation & Anti-Reverse Engineering in Software
Q: How do you approach creating protections and testing them to ensure they work?
The first step is to define the goal of IP protection, which is to make it financially and time-intensive for an attacker to bypass protections.
EP06 Duncan Ogilvie - Piano Tuning & Debugging: The Story of x64dbg
Q: Is there anything looking back that you would do differently?
Duncan reflected on potential architectural changes, such as using web technologies for the GUI instead of native C++, to simplify development.
EP06 Duncan Ogilvie - Piano Tuning & Debugging: The Story of x64dbg
Q: What were some of the early challenges then?
Duncan revealed that as a teenager who was not a software engineer, he faced challenges in development practices and collaboration, needing guidance to learn how to use Git and design the software.
EP06 Duncan Ogilvie - Piano Tuning & Debugging: The Story of x64dbg
Q: How did that transition then into, and where did you get the original idea for x64dbg?
Duncan talked about realizing there was no suitable 64-bit debugger while trying to analyze binaries, which motivated him to create x64dbg to fulfill that need.
