I recently had the pleasure of speaking at @REverseConf with Sami Babigeon and I wanted to share the slides and the replay from my talk:

* <https://github.com/quarkslab/conf-presentations/blob/master/Confs/REverse-26/Reverse26.pdf>
* <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKEizmIFLME&list=PLBKkldXXZQhD1hzCkhhMQXjEQ_qWnFtQn>

This talk was about Sighthouse, a project I’ve been working on for the past four years with plenty of ups and downs along the way. The goal of Sighthouse is to help reverse engineers identify third-party library code, with a current focus on firmware analysis, although the overall Sighthouse pipeline could be extended to many other domains.

For more than a year, we had been looking for the right conference to present this work, and honestly we couldn’t have hoped for a better place than RE//verse. It’s a conference organized by reverse engineers, for reverse engineers, and it truly shows.

At a time when some conferences experiment with things like AI-assisted paper reviews (even if GPTZero precise results should not be used to punish or as the final verdict) or AI-driven artistic direction and for who know me you know how like put human in center, RE//verse feels very different. You can feel that the conference is organized with care, with attention, and with heart.

One thing that especially stood out: if this is your first conference, the organizers take the time to run a full rehearsal of your talk, providing thoughtful and constructive feedback to help you deliver the best presentation possible. That level of support is rare and incredibly valuable.

I genuinely hope other conferences will take inspiration from this model.

And if you’re considering submitting a talk next year: I strongly encourage you to apply.
