Jason Raber has spent 9 years in the world of reverse engineering, preceded by 5 years working at Texas Instruments developing compiler tools for DSPs (code generators, assemblers, linkers, disassemblers, etc). Developing C compilers for 5 years prior to reverse engineering provided a good foundation for understanding machine language and hardware that is commonly utilized in reverse engineering tasks. Jason has significant experience in extracting intellectual property from a broad spectrum of software, including user applications, DLLs, drivers, OS kernels, and firmware, on a variety of platforms (Windows/Linux/Mac/embedded). He has also worked on identifying and analyzing malware to characterize it and/or neutralize it. Jason has also presented at 2 different Black Hat Cons, Recon 2008, and WCRE 2008. Jason currently serves as a team lead for a software assessment team in the United States Air Force Research Laboratory, providing the DoD with specialized software security support.
