[Robin David @RobinDavid1]

After couple of years at @quarkslab I am glad to share that I joined the stunning and relentless @epsilon_sec team!

[Mistral AI @MistralAI]

Meet Mistral Large 4, aka Le Chonk.

• 1T parameters, natively multimodal. 49B active.
It is the best open weights model from US or Europe on aggregated benchmarks.
• State-of-the-art on critical workloads, including cyber defense, manufacturing and finance and it surpasses closed frontier models on visual grounding.
• Forged in Europe end-to-end and is deployable from Europe via our own Mistral Cloud infrastructure.
• Available to all via API today. Working with cybersecurity partners privately.

Open weights release end of October.

The dragon has a VM. Of course it does. Our latest blog walks through the analysis of a complex C++ binary hiding behind a virtual machine, themed as a classic RPG fight. QBDI & TritonDSE are your weapons of choice. The dragon doesn't stand a chance. 🐉

@Montyly Should be online as soon as doctoral school validates Phd paperworks. I'll let you know ;)

[Robin David @RobinDavid1]

🎓 New PhD at Quarkslab on: "Analyzing binary programs and obfuscation with
graph-based representations and machine learning". I am overjoyed having supervised Roxane's PhD
and I have rarely seen such a committed, talented PhD researcher congrats 🎉!

[Robin David @RobinDavid1]

Months of relentless work finally out: our Bitcoin Core security audit!
Both a bless by the code maturity, security culture -- and a curse by the challenge it represents!
Glad to have crossed paths with such a great dev team, @dergoegge @darosior @fanquake.
Keep up the great job!

[quarkslab @quarkslab]

Quarkslab engineers @RobinDavid1, @MihailKirov1 and Kaname just completed the first public security audit of Bitcoin Core, led by @OSTIFofficial and funded by @bitcoinbrink. Details on the blog post: https://t.co/xPkDEV7LDy Congrats to developers for such software masterpiece !

Our @recontmtl 2025 talk titles "Abusing Domestic EV Chargers through Bluetooth and USB" is now available on YT https://t.co/tCJGzRb4i4 !

[Antti Tikkanen @anttitikkanen]

Great talk by @JohnLaTwC on ways you can turn security data into graphs: https://t.co/Y9sNNO0i59. Especially the vector part is great: so many tools have built in support for embeddings (e.g. BigQuery ML.GENERATE_EMBEDDING and VECTOR_SEARCH), defenders should be using them more!

[RE//verse @REverseConf]

RE//verse 2026 CFP is open! Got research? Prove it: https://t.co/5l5IZLKzdZ

[Robin David @RobinDavid1]

@Montyly Come IRL to a security conference preferably nearby Paris, it has been a while ;)

[Robin David @RobinDavid1]

It has been a pleasure to be the 2nd talk of 20th Recon edition! Teaming up with Riccardo about EV charger security we show vulnerabilities found and a side step-by-step firmware cryptanalysis.
