We are thrilled to announce that the workshop on Software Understanding and Reverse Engineering (SURE) is back for its second iteration, co-located with ACM CCS in The Hague!
We invite the community to submit their research to SURE:
sure-workshop.org/cfp/
We are honored and excited to have Dr. @sergeybratus give the opening keynote at SURE 2026: "Defining the discipline of Software Understanding in the age of AI"
Join us at SURE on November 19, 2026: sure-workshop.org/program
Full program coming soon!
Less than 40 hours to go!
Submit your research to SURE 2026 and help close the software understanding gap. We’re excited to see your work!

⏰Deadline approaching! We'd love to see your awesome work, so get it in by June 19th, 11:59 pm AoE.

Help us move the needle on securing the next generation of software. We’re looking for awesome research on decompilation, agentic AI approaches, benchmarking, and program visualization & metrics and more.
Check out the CFP: sure-workshop.org/cfp/
We thank our amazing organizers for their support. None of this would be possible without them:

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!
Also, go read some of the papers:
sure-workshop.org/papers/
Keep, a lookout for our executive summary of papers/discussions/conclusions at SURE 2025 for those who could not attend IRL. We will post it in the coming days.
Finally, stay in touch. We have an associated Discord (unorthodox, we know) to connect academics and practitioners: discord.gg/eVySXH7ZQ8
In fact, some of the attendees this year only made it due to the outreach on Discord. Come and chat!
On our last presented work at SURE, we have Noriki Sakamoto presenting "Toward Inferring Structural Semantics from Binary Code Using Graph Neural Networks"
In the special sub-area of type inferencing on binary code, Noriki's work explores the recovery of structs and how different GNN architectures may have better performance.
We're so back, and on our last session: Applications & Future Work.
Changyu "Thomason" Zhao is presenting "LibIHT: A Hardware-Based Approach to Efficient and Evasion-Resistant Dynamic Binary Analysis".
He is presenting virtually.
Indeed, LibIHT is more robust. They achieve better results on binaries that attempt to evade their analysis.
