The Cost of Understanding: LLM-Driven Reverse Engineering vs Iterative LLM Obfuscation

lowelastic_securityPublished 2026-04-21

<h2 id="introduction">Introduction</h2> <p>Over the past few years, we have observed a significant evolution in the capabilities of LLMs to be productive and to carry out various tasks that address real-world problems, such as program synthesis, malware research, or vulnerability research. Specifically in the context of reverse engineering, LLMs are particularly effective given the right tools bec
