Excited to announce: @cxiao will be speaking at @rustconf in Montréal this year, with the talk "Reverse Engineering Rust Malware in 2026"! https://sched.co/2KHt7

The widespread adoption of Rust has not only led to an increase in legitimate Rust software, but also an explosion in malware written in Rust. How are malware reverse engineers tackling Rust malware, in 2026?

The talk will walk through the analysis of a Rust malware sample, look at the limitations of program analysis and decompilation tools, and discuss the challenges in teaching Rust reverse engineering to malware analysts.

We just wrapped up Deconstructing Rust Binaries, our Rust reverse engineering course, at Ringzer0 last week! It was a real pleasure teaching an engaged class.

Missed out? We're running Deconstructing Rust Binaries again at @NorthSec in Montreal, May 11-13, in a hybrid format: https://nsec.io/training/2026-deconstructing-rust-binaries/

3 full days of the first comprehensive course on reversing Rust binaries, using real Rust malware as practice. Save your spot now!

Looking for Rust malware samples to practice your reverse engineering skills on? Just since January this year, we've added samples from 8 different malware families to the Rust Malware Sample Gallery: https://github.com/decoderloop/rust-malware-gallery/

1) KCVY OSLOCK Ransomware
2) An unnamed Rust DDoS botnet
3) FunkSec Ransomware
4) RustyWater
5) An unnamed Rust-based loader, mimicking a GoToMeeting DLL
6) Marabu Ransomware
7) An unnamed Rust-based keylogger used by SloppyLemming
8) The VENON banker RAT

Want to learn more about how to reverse these? It's the last chance to sign up for our "Deconstructing Rust Binaries" training, at @ringzer0 next week: https://ringzer0.training/countermeasure-spring-2026-deconstructing-rust-binaries/

Can't make it to Ringzer0? We're also offering the "Deconstructing Rust Binaries" training at @NorthSec, in May! https://nsec.io/training/2026-deconstructing-rust-binaries/
