Summary: Trail of Bits released CoBRA, an open-source tool that simplifies the full range of Mixed Boolean-Arithmetic (MBA) expressions used in the wild. The release is categorized under tool-release, open-source, reversing, c/c++, llvm, and research-practice.
Bottom line: MBA obfuscation is a common barrier in reverse engineering and binary analysis, and a free tool that handles the full range of expressions in the wild lowers the cost of understanding obfuscated code for defenders and attackers alike.
