ACM SURE Workshop
@sureworkshop.bsky.social
The Workshop on Software Understanding and Reverse Engineering (SURE). Co-located at ACM CCS 2025 in Taiwan. https://sure-workshop.org/
CCS has come to a close, and so has the first-ever SURE Workshop. We want to thank the authors, the PC, @moyix, our panel, and CCS for making SURE a success. We felt the support for this research area (the room was packed out for more than half the day).
See you all next year!

Speaking of evaluating things, how do you evaluate if your decompilation (or other tool) is actually helping you more in understanding software?
Florian Magin is back to present:
"Towards Scalable Evaluation of Software Understanding: A Methodology Proposal"

So you are thinking about approaching decompilation in the non-C sense, but you are not sure if it is impactful?
Well, Florian Magin, is presenting "Measuring While Playing Fair: An Empirical Analysis of Language and Framework Usage in the iOS App Store" to answer that!

We just had our first talk of the day, our spectacular keynote from @moyix. He explored reverse engineering and discussed how we still have a long way to go in making questions about programs accessible to non-technical people.
We'll be live-tweeting talks as they happen!

In our inaugural year, we are excited to have the epic @moyix give the opening keynote at SURE 2025:
"Reverse Engineering in the 2020s: Where are we, and where should we go?"
This will be an inspiring start to the workshop.
