I started contributing to a decompilation project and while I’m not the best decompiler by any stretch of the imagination I’ve thought about streaming while I’m working.

Is there interest in content like this? Are people curious about tells for when assembly is affected by variable sign, struct vs array access, the bonkers things even 30 year old compilers do with control structures, register reuse, etc. and how to coax code into byte equivalent assembly from classic consoles.




Made an account to say yes, this would be awesome to watch. I’ve been trying to accumulate esoteric reversing knowledge like this but it’s hard to know where to even look!


I am interested. I learned some basic 8086 assembly during university, read some books on reverse engineering, but never went anywhere further. BTW, are you working on a open source project?
