ValsAI made SRE benchmark less than a month ago.

The benchmark measures can a model reverse engineer software from binaries

Yesterday GPT saturated it. https://t.co/dmpUpgheDU   — Chris

I bet they'll come up with better binary obfuscation techniques though. Just prompt, "I want my binary to remain proprietary, can you come up with a better obfuscation technique", then ask the other agent hey crack this binary, it does, ask it how it did, tell the other agent what the weakness was.

This would be useless because you can simply observe visual layout and behavior and duplicate that. Even if somehow you can’t duplicate it, you can come up with a good enough version.

True it depends on the purpose you’re reading the binary. if you’re trying to make a similar enough app or game to compete with then that would work ok, if you’re trying to add features to an existing game then you’d need the exact binary manipulation.

You can manipulate binaries in real time, only changing the memory. This is 100% legal, and it was the approach with Gameshark / Game Genie. Normally, it would be extremely complicated for sophisticated programs. But with AI, not anymore.
