Look at this madness

Boom, finally published! It chronicles (and highly speculative at times :)) how LLMs can help with mobile security. I have disscussed few use cases 1. For code obfuscation 2. For reverse engineering 3. For device forensics 4. For SOC automation & reporting https://www.sandboxbrief.com/opportunites-mtd-with-ai-agents/

I built my first mcp serve. It helps you iOS device forensics using iOS's sysdiagnose file. You can ask all kinds of interesting questions like - how many apps were installed ? Past and present - how many times was this device rebooted? - find me suspicious apps - what wifi was this device connected to, etc

Product idea - Use LLMs to obfuscate sensitive code in mobile apps. It's possible to get over hallucination if code has unit tests or AI can write one itself Obviously it’s not straight forward like this but definitely doable 🙂

One good use of LLMs is code obfuscation. In mobile apps, it’s very critical that code is protected from reverse engineering. There are many obfuscation techniques out there. Control flow obfuscation works by injecting dummy code that throws off possible attacker by making it difficult to read and understand the code. See the screenshot above. On the left side is unobfuscated root detection code taken from https://github.com/scottyab/rootbeer/blob/master/rootbeerlib/src/main/java/com/scottyab/rootbeer/RootBeer.java#L182. On the right is code obfuscated using Claude Sonnet 4. Try to see if you can understand what’t going on without executing it ;) Here is the prompt used to generate the code https://claude.ai/share/1562ad16-695b-4748-90d3-47c2c91d2046

Yup. I am planning to do more of teaching next year. Some formal & mostly informal in the form of short form technical sessions and labs Will provide deails soon :)
