Have you heard of these things called LLMs are that are quite good at reversing changes in closed source binaries?

you can diff binaries in a disassembler, the technique has been used for a long time to discover patched Microsoft vulnerabilities, create exploits and then race the world.

now you can instruct an LLM to do this with MCP...

    There are many techniques for making a closed-source binary harder to reverse engineer: polymorphism, symbol stripping, code encryption, packing, and so on. Closed-source binaries at least stand a chance of being effectively obfuscated, unlike open-source code.

      and those measures have always been merely annoyances. except for the VM methods which impact performance significantly.

      now none of those methods matter as you can just instruct an LLM to bang its head against the wall until the wall breaks.
