Aloha mai kākou

I'm Zion Leonahenahe Basque, a.k.a mahaloz. I'm a PhD student in computer science at Arizona State University studying reverse engineering and decompilation. As a PhD student in security, I've developed many research prototypes and tools used by the security community. I often open-source these tools and maintain them for the community.

However, maintaining tools is often outside the scope of an academic's job. As such, I dedicate many weekends to refining and maintaining the tools the community finds most helpful. Given funding from the public, I intend to do two things:

  1. Prioritize the tasks my donators find the most useful
  2. Sustainably maintain my already running projects

Below, you can find some of my most impactful work:

Stars T Description
GitHub stars BinSync is a decompiler-agnostic reversing plugin for cross-decompiler collaboration, built on git. Gone are the days of being unable to sync structs and types between different decompilers!
GitHub stars 🐟 decomp2dbg is an addon to GDB to sync decompilation, symbols, and metadata from a decompiler on-the-fly for the enhanced debugging of binaries.
GitHub stars 🔬 DAILA is a decompiler-agnostic plugin for integrating AI into decompilation. Currently, OpenAI and the VarBERT models are supported for various reversing tasks, like variable renaming.
GitHub stars 🔬 angr is a binary analysis framework used for a variety of tasks, including decompilation. I'm one of the core developers of the home-rolled decompiler. I focus on making the generated code better.
GitHub stars angr-management is the angr team self-rolled decompiler UI, which includes many plugins for interacting with the binary on multiple levels. Try it out today!
