22 octobre 2012

Two researchers of TSF team, Eric Alata and Fernand Lone Sang, have
solved the SSTIC Challenge, and they are the only team awarded for the challenge. Three other individuals have been awarded for solving the challenge. For their solution, the TSF researchers had to develop their own reverse engineering tools (decompiler, debugger, emulator, etc.).

As part of the conference SSTIC, an annual challenge of security is offered to the scientific community around safety. The challenge this year was organized by CERT-Lexsi, EADS Innovation Works and ANSSI. It was to find an email address contained in an encrypted file itself stored in a corrupted hard disk image.
