Vibe reverse engineering of old games and new hardware

Piotr Migdał

Reverse engineering binaries once required deep expertise. Today, AI models like Opus 4.6, GPT-5.3-Codex, and Gemini 3.1 Pro change the rules. Watch how pairing AI with the NSA's Ghidra decompiler or simple hex tools like xxd makes binary hacking accessible. We will dive into practical projects: hacking infinite lives into Atari’s River Ride, porting the legacy game Chromatron, decoding LED backpack protocols, and hunting for backdoors. Let me show how to add reverse engineering to your everyday skills.
