[RustConf @rustconf]

In the past few years, pro malware reverse engineers have come to a realization: they need to learn how to reverse Rust programs. The widespread adoption of Rust has not only led to an increase in legitimate software targets to study and examine for vulnerabilities, but also an explosion in malware written in Rust.

Cindy Xiao (@decoderloop) will be exploring this in “Reverse Engineering Rust Malware in 2026” at #rustconf on Sept 9.
