Cisco Talos published research on integrating local AI agents with traditional reverse engineering tools, specifically demonstrating how the VB6 disassembler vbdec exposes its analysis capabilities through COM object models. This approach enables more sophisticated automated malware analysis workflows by leveraging AI without requiring external dependencies.

Why it matters in Western Canada: Western Canadian organizations running legacy Visual Basic 6 applications—common in financial institutions, utilities, and government systems—should understand emerging reverse engineering capabilities that could target their custom software or expose vulnerabilities in proprietary tools.
