About
I’m Nicole — I reverse engineer software for fun and document what I find here.
Most of what ends up on this site starts as curiosity about how something works under the hood. That usually means static analysis in Binary Ninja, runtime inspection with WinDbg or Frida, and a fair amount of time staring at x86 assembly until it starts making sense. Sometimes it goes somewhere interesting, sometimes it doesn’t. Either way it ends up here.
The name is the premise: no source code, no symbols, no documentation. Just the binary.
What you’ll find here
Projects and writeups covering reverse engineering, binary patching, dynamic instrumentation, and whatever else I happen to be pulling apart. The targets vary: desktop applications, embedded software, proprietary protocols. The methodology is usually some combination of static analysis, TTD traces, and runtime hooking, depending on the target.
Posts aim to document not just what worked but what didn’t, and why: dead ends tend to be more instructive than clean solutions.
