Applied AI/LLM for Mobile App Reversing and Analysis // Guerric Eloi, Atlan Pinabel
Virtual | Oct 26-31 | 32 Hours
BOOK NOWABSTRACT
This hands-on training explores how AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) can augment the reverse engineering and security analysis of Android and iOS applications. Participants will learn to leverage both local and online LLMs to assist with decompiling, annotating, and analyzing APKs/IPAs and native libraries. The training introduces MCPs to enhance static analysis tools like Jadx and Ghidra, and walks through real-world usage of LLMs for code refactoring, Frida script generation, fuzzing harness creation, and automated reporting. The course blends static and dynamic analysis with AI-assisted tooling, culminating in a hands-on project where participants reverse a complex APK using AI throughout the process.
