@AviD Could a moderator go ahead and merge [burp] and [burpsuite]? There is a synonym suggestion, but it has 0 votes and will never get any, becuase nobody knows that you can vote on synonym suggestions. There is a meta question with 19 upvotes and 0 downvotes if that counts for something.

Morning

I will be doing an internship for 5-6 months next month. For the internship I will have to do some research as well. I pitched my idea to the boss of a company and he was quite excited about it. But now I'm thinking: is it remotely feasible?

So my idea was as follows: what if we could use machine learning in order to de~compile compiled binaries?

The idea is to provide as much C/C++ programs (source code + compiled variant) and "train" it.

I know that the training phase will take a lot of samples

so I thought about scrapping C programs and compiling them (dynamically) from sites like github.

What do you guys/girls think?
Knowing that my knowledge in machine learning is close to zero but I could follow a coursera course about it

I've googled quite a bit and the only thing I could find was this reddit thread: reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/47xvsa/…

why not? you can create a centralized database for that..Programs with available source code can be fetched from there and for new ones you can add tools to decompile them

I'm more worried about the "training" phase, scraping should be the easiest part.
On the other hand, it doesn't need to be "perfect". I guess if I could train it as far as it can de~compile a simple hello world that would be already great

Something like a Proof Of COncept
