semi legit, cantor.dust is still vaporware


Yes, true. No beta invite yet.


invites to what? CIA front for reverse engineering? Guy works for a non profit that happens to be the biggest employee for RE coders, nobody heard of it _and_ its only client is DoD, all of this is dodgy as F

edit: quick google shows Battelle Memorial is a 'known' CIA front company.

/tinfoilhat mode

Now Im starting to suspect this SMM escalation was in their arsenal and he overheard some details in the cafeteria?


Invite to candor.dust?

What is the relevance of a CIA front? The software was demo'd, explained, and makes sense.

More likely, the software is quite powerful and was developed into a larger, more automated version that Domas/Battelle/CIA/whoever doesn't want to give away.


senseye seems to match the featureset from cantor dust pretty well but other than 'pretty pictures' its hard to see how its useful


The "intuitive" feeling that he claims to develop after using it for awhile seems like it would be useful of you do a lot of reverse engineering or forensics work.


yeah perhaps I just havn't gotten the feel for it - think I've spent some 8-10 hours total playing around (more comfortable with regular hex+disasm+debug+scripts), I liked the https://github.com/letoram/senseye/wiki/Sense_MFile thing though


This looks pretty cool. cantor.dust seemed more usable than senseye (I haven't used either).
