The slides I presented last Saturday at Barbhack are available here: https://www.fortiguard.com/events/6189/barb-hack-2025-decompile-linux-malware-with-r2ai

I've already presented on r2ai. What's new here is (1) the analysis of a complex ransomware such as Linux/Trigona, and (2) learn to tweak context size, output token limits etc to get the best out of your LLM.

Enjoy!

NB. One of the demos is available here: https://asciinema.org/a/pBPEaJhp6cunWSKFpBUDTgPt4

<p>This talk presents 2 different Linux malware:</p><ul><li><p>a shellcode, named Linux/Shellcode_ConnectBack.H!tr. The binary is small and compact, but traditional disassemblers like Ghidra fail to produce understandable decompiled code. With AI assistance in Radare 2, we manage to get far better code. There are few things to fix in the code though.</p></li><li><p>a ransomware, named Linux/Trigona. This binary is bigger and more complex. We analyze with AI, but there are several technical issues due to its size, because the AI context is too big. We show how to workaround the issue, by configuration of r2ai, adequate choice of model, different prompts and different approaches.</p></li></ul>

I've very happy to speak at Barb'hack on Saturday.
barbhack.fr/2025/fr/conf...

There will be 2 demos.
One live.
One recorded - simply because I don't have the guts to do it live ;P

We reverse engineer Linux/Trigona and Linux/Shellcode with radare2 + AI + HI

HI standards for Human Intelligence ;P

I've recently setup a LM Studio server, with several models including gpt-oss. I can use it from my disassembler, here to analyze a Linux/Trigona sample.
