Cindy Xiao , Decoder Loop
Cindy Xiao is an experienced malware analyst, security researcher, and software developer. She has given talks and workshops on malware and Rust reverse engineering at leading cybersecurity conferences, including RECon, RE//verse, and NorthSec.
Cindy is the founder of Decoder Loop, a specialty firm created to raise the bar for binary reverse engineering training. The tools, techniques, and resources that reverse engineers have were built for the era of C. Meanwhile, malware authors and software developers alike are rapidly switching to modern programming languages such as Rust. Decoder Loop offers expert training that levels the playing field for reverse engineers facing modern binaries.
Training: Deconstructing Rust Binaries
Deconstructing Rust Binaries is the first comprehensive training course focused solely on reverse engineering Rust binaries. This course is for any reverse engineer who needs a rapid, practical upskill in your ability to analyze Rust binaries. You will learn how to effectively triage Rust binaries, how to trace data flow through Rust binaries, and how to tackle common techniques found in the Rust malware ecosystem.
This course is aimed at malware reverse engineers, but vulnerability researchers and software reverse engineers who have Rust targets will also find the course valuable. This course is taught and written by an experienced malware reverse engineer, Cindy Xiao, with extensive experience specifically in reversing Rust binaries. Real Rust malware samples will be used in the course for practice.
