[This episode was recorded back in July, adjust the part regarding MTE]

In this episode, Cyril (Pod2G) takes us back to the early days of iOS jailbreaking: exploring the hacks, the race to release jailbreaks, and reflecting on how much the scene has changed compared to today.

We go over his time at Apple and other security research companies, VR company culture and how he is trying to change that as the new VP of research at Epsilon.

Today we are meeting up with Henri, a developer at Hex-Rays. He has been working on IDA Pro, one of the most popular reverse engineering tools out there.

We discuss everything IDA, from his first internship at Hex-Rays, to working on special iOS support features. Henri is also somewhat of a quirky person, and he gives us an insight on his work-life balance, his tips & tricks to stay focused and optimize your productivity...

Lastly, we answered questions from the community, specific to IDA.

Hope you enjoy!

In this interview, we sit down with Amat Cama, a renowned security researcher, to trace his journey from studying computer science to competing in CTFs, starting out in penetration testing, and eventually shifting to vulnerability research for top-tier companies.

Amat shares his experiences at Pwn2Own, the transition from CTF challenges to real-world exploitation, and the intricacies of crafting reliable exploits. We dive into his perspective on offense versus defense and the motivation that drives him to stay in such a demanding field. He also talks about knowledge sharing through trainings, the importance of community and networking, and what a good VR candidate looks like.

In this episode, we sit down with Pinkflawd, a talented reverse engineer to explore her unique journey into the field. She shares how she first got involved in reverse engineering through a women-only competition and offers advice for newcomers interested in following a similar path. We discuss her school background, her work detecting malware in the cloud, and her professional experience at some big companies.

She talks about her involvement with BlackHoodie, her favorite reverse engineering tools, and contributions to open-source projects like Radare.

We also dive into the challenges of working in the industry, staying motivated, dealing with failure, and handling imposter syndrome. She also offers insights on preparing and giving technical talks, and shares a story about analyzing a nation-state sponsored malware.

Finally, we discuss her thoughts on VR, potential future projects, and wrap up with parting tips for aspiring security researchers.

Sergi Alvarez, also known as “Pancake”, is the author of the open-source reverse engineering tool called Radare2 and the founder of the security conference R2con.

In this episode, we sit down with Pancake to explore the origins of radare2 and R2Con, his journey in developing his expertise, and where decompilers fit into the equation. We’ll also discuss the role of AI in Radare, his experience collaborating with other developers in the open-source community, and the lessons he’s learned/what he might do differently if he could start over.

Ben (aka Sparkey) and Jon (aka jonpalmisc) are two security researchers that, over the years, speciliazed in iOS hacking.
Although Jon initially had a different plan in mind, he soon realized that reverse engineering and bug hunting were essential to achieving his goals.
Sparkey, on the other hand, began exploring on his own, creating his first jailbreak while still in high school.
Both of them had very different learning techniques, and share with us how they learned to reverse engineer.
Over time, they've honed their expertise in reversing iOS devices and now share insights into what it's like working in this field.
Come and have a listen, you won't be disappointed :)

Ever wondered how iOS jailbreaks work or what it’s like to dive deep into the world of security research? In this video, we sit down with Siguza, a well-known iOS hacker and jailbreak developer, to chat about everything from his early days in tech to his beginnings in iOS jailbreaking.

We cover all kinds of topics:

• What jailbreaking is and why people do it
• How Siguza got into iOS hacking
• The challenges of reverse engineering and finding exploits
• Stories about malicious apps, app store security, and side-loading

Plus, Siguza shares his thoughts on things like work-life balance, collaborating with others, and whether you really need a degree to make it in tech.
