About Me

I’m a white-hat hacker who is interested in Binary Analysis. Binary analysis (or, program analysis in a broader sense) is not just for hacking. It is the pure willingness to understand how programs behave. I’m dreaming of the world where all of the classic game binaries get fully analyzed so that everyone easily enjoys ROM hacking (Link). I wanna be the Master Ball, which can absorb knowledges nearby.
