Droid ASC: A High-Performance Tool for Android Reverse Engineering and Vulnerability Discovery

Article Summary: Droid ASC is a high-performance tool for Android reverse engineering and mobile security testing. It reduces memory usage by two orders of magnitude and eliminates disk caching compared to the traditional jadx decompiler, achieving second-level decompilation and millisecond search. Its core advantages lie in zero indexing, on-demand decompression, and leveraging R8 optimisation,…

Droid ASC is a cutting-edge tool designed for Android reverse engineering and mobile security testing. It boasts superior performance by reducing memory usage by two orders of magnitude and eliminating disk caching compared to traditional jadx decompiler. The core advantages of Droid ASC include zero indexing, on-demand decompression, and leveraging R8 optimisation, resulting in faster large-scale sensitive information screening and API attack surface mapping.

This high-performance tool is ideal for red teams, Security Response Centre operations, and emergency response scenarios, making it a valuable asset for authorized testing.

"Keeping a record: working across many sessions"

Day one closed in the small hours and day two started half an hour later, with a short session that didn't touch the product: it defined how sessions would be named, where they would be recorded, and…

  • Claude Code developed session tracking system for continuity
  • Four-line naming format, index file, closing script created
  • System evolved to include complex features across 426 sessions

I made my coding agent explain every change to the customer. Here is the skill.

The diff is never the expensive part. The expensive part comes after: explaining to the person who asked for the change what they actually got, and discovering that "done" meant "tests pass".

  • Author built coding habits over four years to explain changes to customers
  • Seven-rule "product-engineer" skillset enforces habits in coding tasks
  • Skill improves customer block quality, built features, and excluded features

Two kinds of junior devs right now, and only one of them is actually learning

I've been watching a lot of beginners lately, and I keep seeing the same thing. Someone asks ChatGPT/Claude a question and gets an answer, after sees it works - and that's it...

  • Two types of junior developers exist: AI-reliant and hands-on learners.
  • AI-reliant juniors quickly move to next challenge without deep understanding.
  • Hands-on juniors experiment, analyze errors, and seek why behind code lines.

Running a nested Proxmox homelab and Docker development on the same Windows machine

Tags: docker, proxmox, homelab, windows I sat down to start a new project and Docker Desktop wouldn't run. I knew why immediately, because I'd already paid this bill once — in the opposite direction.

  • Disable Windows hypervisor to run Proxmox and Docker Desktop simultaneously
  • Create DEV01 VM with Ubuntu 24.04.5, 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 100 GB disk
  • Connect Windows Docker CLI to DEV01 Docker daemon via passwordless SSH
