📢 We hit snooze! You have until June 30th to get your paper in. 📄

⏰Deadline approaching! We'd love to see your awesome work, so get it in by June 19th, 11:59 pm AoE. sure26.hotcrp.com/

Reflecting on the success of our first SURE and beginning the planning for the next year!

CCS has come to a close, and so has the first-ever SURE Workshop. We want to thank the authors, the PC, @moyix, our panel, and CCS for making SURE a success. We felt the support for this research area (the room was packed out for more than half the day). See you all next year!

On our last presented work at SURE, we have Noriki Sakamoto presenting "Toward Inferring Structural Semantics from Binary Code Using Graph Neural Networks"

We're so back, and on our last session: Applications & Future Work. Changyu "Thomason" Zhao is presenting "LibIHT: A Hardware-Based Approach to Efficient and Evasion-Resistant Dynamic Binary Analysis". He is presenting virtually.

We're on our last talk of the session, remaining with the obfuscation topic. Dongpeng Xu is presenting "DEBRA: A Real-World Benchmark For Evaluating Deobfuscation Methods" in the place of Zheyun Feng.

Next up is "On the Learnability, Robustness, and Adaptability of Deep Learning Models for Obfuscation-applied Code," presented by Jiyong Uhm of Sungkyunkwan University.

Speaking of evaluating things, how do you evaluate if your decompilation (or other tool) is actually helping you more in understanding software? Florian Magin is back to present: "Towards Scalable Evaluation of Software Understanding: A Methodology Proposal"

New session, who this? In this session, we are talking about benchmarking! We start with "Benchmarking Binary Type Inference Techniques in Decompilers," presented by Vedant Soni.

So you are thinking about approaching decompilation in the non-C sense, but you are not sure if it is impactful? Well, Florian Magin, is presenting "Measuring While Playing Fair: An Empirical Analysis of Language and Framework Usage in the iOS App Store" to answer that!

Speaking of decompilation, that is not just C; we are now on "ideco: A Framework for Improving Non-C Decompilation," presented by Sam Lerner, an independent researcher.

Speaking of decompilation, that is not just C; we are now on "ideco: A Framework for Improving Non-C Decompilation," presented by Sam Lerner, an independent researcher.

We're now "Systematic Testing of C++ Abstraction Recovery Systems by Iterative Compiler Model Refinement," presented by Edward J. Schwartz of CMU! More in the thread.

We just had our first talk of the day, our spectacular keynote from @moyix. He explored reverse engineering and discussed how we still have a long way to go in making questions about programs accessible to non-technical people. We'll be live-tweeting talks as they happen!

In our inaugural year, we are excited to have the epic @moyix give the opening keynote at SURE 2025: "Reverse Engineering in the 2020s: Where are we, and where should we go?" This will be an inspiring start to the workshop.

SURE is proud to announce that we have **9** epic works that have been accepted for presentation at SURE on October 13. Topics span decompilation, (de)obfuscation, debugging, fundamental benchmarks, and more! sure-workshop.org/pa... (paper links out soon)
