The industry-standard disassembler for static binary analysis. My daily driver for firmware, drivers, and obfuscated malware.

NSA's free disassembler and decompiler. Great for collaborative analysis and scripting heavy reverse engineering tasks.

Dynamic instrumentation toolkit for hooking and tracing both native and Android/Java code at runtime.

Windows debugger used for dynamic analysis of x86/x64 binaries, unpacking, and crackme-style reversing.

Decompiling and patching Android APKs — smali patching, dex modification, and resource re-packing.

Reversing custom communication protocols, packet structures, and encrypted network traffic from unpacked binaries.

Systems programming and low-level tooling — bindings, embedded helpers, and performance-critical code.

Performance-critical code, native tooling, and reverse engineering adjacent utilities.

Memory-safe systems programming used for game asset extraction and tooling.

Scripting, CTF automation, and analysis pipelines. My go-to for writing solver scripts.

Android development and understanding Android framework internals for reverse engineering.

Version control for all my projects, write-ups, and CTF tooling.

Daily driver for reversing and development — bash, tmux, and the usual UNIX toolkit.
