AI Analysis

MidNiche Gem

Blog post comparing AI reverse engineering skills, not an actual tool or product.

Strengths
  • Side-by-side testing methodology with same malware sample for fair comparison.
  • Detailed IoC extraction reports show actual output from both AI providers.
Weaknesses
  • This is a blog post, not a Show HN product — no tool to evaluate.
  • Single-sample test lacks statistical rigor for meaningful AI capability claims.

Codex skills as RE playbooks: unpacking and IOC extraction

Shows how SKILL.md progressive disclosure can keep an LLM's context focused while turning routine RE tasks into repeatable playbooks — valuable thinking for anyone juggling analysts-in-the-loop workflows. Clever writeup and sensible environment notes (FLARE‑VM + VM isolation), but it stops at concept: no packaged skill repo, runnable examples, or tooling to actually drop into your lab, so it reads like research notes rather than a usable project.
