@PawelK @hn100 Yes, Assignment 1-5 is getting Ghidra to compile from source.

@PawelK @hn100 Czechia would be nice. CZUB definitely has experience with taking existing designs and improving them. It would be interesting to get in contact with a University there.

Ruskies and Ukrainians were really based in reversing. Je to škoda, že lidé kontrolu politiků.

@AmpBenzScientist @hn100

Ill try to drop a few links and pull some tiny strings of interest. You hitting my continent would be real deal fun.

@PawelK @hn100 It would be fun and I am an American so they would likely not care too much about me bringing in troublesome ideologies and politics. Reason for visit: Research, CZUB and trying to fix Yugos and Ladas.

I suspect the last one is going to be cheaply converting to electric. The death traps are very light and could likely just use deep cycle lead batteries with a forklift electric motor. It adds weight to the bottom of the vehicle and shifts the center of mass lower and towards the center of the vehicle. It's a communist production vehicle so no one would look twice at the petrol powered generator that would be added last moment just like many features of the original design.

@PawelK @hn100 Part of me clings to America and what it stands for. Maybe it impairs my ability to do research but I always feel indebted to my homeland. Perhaps I could help change it for the better and it would be my duty to do so. That's the way I see it.

With that being said, working with people from other countries is what I enjoy. Perhaps I will look into CZ Universities and see if there are individuals or groups that would not mind having another researcher on their work. I would learn from them and hopefully they could learn from me.

It would be academic research and I would have more protection from angry corporations. I could potentially get work published and that is very impressive on a CV. Despite my reservations about locking up knowledge, or knowledge being owned, I would gladly work towards a mutual goal.

Yes I would work in research but from my homeland and going through a foreign University. Hacker Score -40 but it is very much the same end goal. It seems to be the best option for both honing my skills and becoming more attractive to employers.

@AmpBenzScientist @hn100

That shall be fine with firmware pentester, fw code reviewer in cybersecu etc, to do it remotely.

Other i was thinkin for you would need personal presence though so probably not applicable, a position of multi-platform and multi-products pentester by samsumthin r&d center in Poland.

@AmpBenzScientist @hn100

Also with your specialisations, i thought a while about this, a closest nongovt area, you could possibly fancy and/or that could benefit you, could be perhaps cybersecu, think those giggle zeros findings from Samsung exynos (was it?) chipset, and other low-level firmwares of various sorts, vendors, platforms, eqt elrments, like *ahem* amnesty's *ahem* mobile-verification-toolkit, and so on.

@PawelK @hn100 In the past I've reversed, or attempted to reverse, malware that modifies firmware. I documented SE Linux and Samsomething Knux getting bypassed by a row hammer attack. As security increases, the malware becomes more magnificent.

Usually people tell me that it is impressive but they didn't ask, also fix the problems debil.

I'll have to look into it but this time I will need to be more careful of potential pitfalls. I once learned a lesson and it taught me a lot.

Still, jumping in the deep end of a pool is how I learned to swim. Nothing like applying knowledge when and where it is needed. Sorry to my parents if they read this, I was a terror to raise.

@PawelK @hn100 If they were to ask me why I visit their country, I would respond that it is a beacon of light in a dark place. I avoid the Socialism of the West and Authoritarian governments of the East. I also didn't want to go to Slovenia because no matter how I behave, people will think I went for male bonding.
