HARES - Hardened Anti Reverse Engineering System

Explore the Hardened Anti Reverse Engineering System (HARES) in this 38-minute conference talk from SyScan'15 Singapore. Dive into the intricacies of TLB splitting, TLDB L2 cache, and program verification. Examine the implementation of HARES through kernel drivers and the Windows kernel. Analyze test cases, including randomized sort and software compatibility. Discover the system's limitations, security benefits, and potential weaknesses. Learn about engineering challenges, mixed code data, and nonpage pool considerations. Investigate heuristics on AV and unintended use cases. Gain valuable insights into advanced anti-reverse engineering techniques and their implications for software security.
