8. Security Knowledge Base: - Utilize resources like The-book-of-secret-knowledge (e.g., https://github.com/trimstray/the-book-of-secret-knowledge) and Awesome-Hacking (e.g., https://github.com/Hack-with-Github/Awesome-Hacking) to build a knowledge base. - Extract relevant security information and create a structured knowledge base within SecurIoT. - Implement functionality to query and retrieve security information from the knowledge base. - Thoroughly test the knowledge base integration, ensuring accurate retrieval of security knowledge.
Project mention: gpt4-openai-api VS gpt4free - a user suggested alternative | libhunt.com/r/gpt4-openai-api | 2024-01-04I cant install
Let's see what our beloved software reverse engineering framework Ghidra has to show.
Project mention: wxHexEditor — a Free Hex Editor / Disk Editor for Huge Files or Devices | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-18A good replacement is ImHex (https://github.com/WerWolv/ImHex). Which does the job really well.
App tampering and repackaging can be performed by using reverse engineering or tampering tools, such as Apktool, dex2jar, etc.
Everything Hiew can do, Rizin[1] can do too, and is completely free and open source[2] under LGPL3 license. Moreover, it supports more architectures, platforms, and file formats, as well as GUI in Qt - Cutter[3][4]. If something is missing in Rizin but presented in Hiew, please let us know by opening the issue with details.

Project mention: More ways to identify independently security tested apps on Google Play | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-03
Project mention: New embedded and Rust hacking tutorials added - For anyone that missed my last post. Kevin Thomas is my mentor. We are both working together to bring free and low cost resources to those who are looking to learn and don't have money for expensive bootcamps/certs. Please enjoy his free tutorials! | /r/ReverseEngineering | 2023-10-27
Project mention: Apple and Google deliver support for unwanted tracking alerts in iOS and Android | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-13There's some info about Apple's network here:

Seems like in theory you could do that, though there are definitely heuristics you could apply to detect those tags, depending on how stealthy they are being.
Also on the servers side Apple could just limit you to a reasonable number of tags.
Project mention: Unicorn – lightweight multi-platform, multi-architecture CPU emulator framework | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-03
Project mention: Rise: Accelerate the Development of Open Source Software for RISC-V | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-05-31Maybe then they can help us with the Capstone[1][2] disassembly engine auto-sync (automatic synchronization from the LLVM TableGen files) effort[3]. ARMv7, ARMv8/9, PowerPC are nearly finished, and MIPS in in near-term plans. Nobody stepped in for RISC-V yet.

There is also GEF, which is widely used by the reverse engineering and CTF community.
