| | In this blogpost, we present a general method to efficiently compare functions from a new binary against a large database (made of numerous known functions). This method has strong theoretical properties and is perfectly suited to address many conventional problems, such as classification, clustering or near duplicate detection.

| [AI summary] The article discusses the process of learning to read x86 assembly language, focusing on how it can be a useful skill for understanding low-level operations of microprocessors. It outlines the challenges of reading assembly, especially in debugging scenarios, and provides an example of translating Ruby code into x86 assembly using Crystal. The article also explains the syntax and structure of x86 assembly, including register usage, instruction suffixes, and the differences between AT&T and Intel syntax. It highlights the complexity of x86 assembly due to its historical evolution and the need for understanding register sizes and operand notation.
