I've recently been amazed, if not mind-blown, by how a very simple, "one-line" SAT solver on Interaction Nets can outperform brute-force by orders of magnitude by exploiting "superposed booleans" and optimal evaluation of λ-expressions. In this brief note, I'll provide some background for you to understand how this works, and then I'll present a simple code you can run in your own computer to observe and replicate this effect. Note this is a new observation, so I know little about how this algorithm behaves asymptotically, but I find it quite
This brief tutorial will show you how to go about analyzing a raw binary firmware image in Ghidra.
I was recently interested in reversing some older Cisco IOS images. Those images come in the form of a single binary blob, without any sort of ELF, Mach-o, or PE header to describe the binary.
While I am using Cisco IOS Images in this example, the same process should apply to other Raw Binary Firmware Images.
