  1. As promised, here is the technical audit of Signal (v8.3.4) and Wire (v4.21.0) using the GAMA v1.0 methodology. Analysis is strictly based on evidence from production binaries (DEX, ELF, Smali).Key Findings:Post-Quantum: Signal uses a continuous PQ-ratchet (ML-KEM1024). Wire implements a hybrid KEM (Kyber768 Draft) in MLS setup.Metadata: Signal's Sealed Sender v2 obfuscates the social graph. Wire's architecture prioritizes enterprise federation over metadata hiding.Telemetry: Detected a Firebase Measurement Connector bridge in Wire's production build.Integrity: Binary evidence of Signal’s SVR2 Noise channel for SGX-backed PIN recovery.I have also corrected material errors from my preliminary notes regarding SQLCipher and PQC in Wire. This is an objective look at architectural trade-offs.Feedback and peer review are welcome to improve the GAMA framework.Full Report:

  6. 🎯 NOW PUBLISHING: On-Location Coverage from #BlackHat USA 2025!

    We're back in the office and excited to start sharing all the conversations we captured on location in Las Vegas with our amazing sponsors and editorial coverage!

    🔔 Follow ITSPmagazine, Sean Martin, CISSP, and Marco Ciappelli to get this content fresh as it drops!

    We're thrilled to share this critical Brand Story conversation thanks to our friends at ReversingLabs 🙏

    Your Business Apps Are Bringing Friends You Didn't Invite

    Every commercial software application is a complex assembly of first-party, contracted, open source, and third-party code. But when #SolarWinds, #Kaseya, and #Ivanti happened, we learned that vendor questionnaires and contractual assurances offer little protection against supply chain compromises.

    At #BlackHat2025, Saša Zdjelar, Chief Trust Officer at ReversingLabs, reveals how organizations can finally verify the integrity of #software from outside vendors—without relying on blind trust.

    The game-changer: Comprehensive binary analysis that deconstructs any file into its components to:

    • Detect malware, tampering, and embedded secrets

    • Identify #vulnerabilities and insecure practices

    • Uncover undocumented network connections

    • Flag #compliance risks from restricted regions

    This isn't just another policy checkbox—it's a true technical control that inspects the software itself, regardless of size or complexity.

    Real-world applications:

    • Procurement: Auto-scan all software before deployment

    • Version Monitoring: Detect unexpected behavior changes between releases

    • Critical Environments: Verify integrity before software enters OT, ICS, or financial systems

    • Risk Management: Assess COTS software as part of ongoing vendor reviews

    With regulations like EO 14028 and the EU's #CyberResilience Act demanding transparency, the ability to technically validate every application delivers both strategic protection and measurable benefits.

  13. Want to learn more about ELF files? 🧝‍♂️

    My new blog post "Wherein We Look At An ELF".

    In this post we will explore:

    🖥️ The anatomy of ELF files—what makes them tick
    🔍 Relocatable but not yet Executable—more compilation shenanigans
    🧩 To Strip or not to Strip—is that the question?
    🔐 Some ELF tools—readelf, objdump, gdb, ...
