Reverse Engineering & Binary Analysis
When you need to understand what a binary really does — your own software, a vendor component or suspicious code you're authorised to examine — our analysts take it apart to reveal hidden behaviour, weaknesses and risks.

What this means. An authorized Solvex administrator registered and approved this exact public identity. What it does not. Solvex has not inspected the account on the platform, and this is not the platform's own verification.
Solvex specialists never ask for your passwords, recovery phrases, one-time codes, or payments to a personal account. Work, scope and invoices are agreed in writing through the official channels on this site.
Signed authorization required. This engagement is performed only against systems you own or are contractually authorized to have tested, under an agreed scope. See the responsible testing policy.
What's covered
- Static and dynamic analysis of binaries and firmware
- Protocol and file-format reverse engineering
- Identification of vulnerabilities and unsafe behaviour
- Anti-tampering, obfuscation and protection assessment
- Hidden functionality and backdoor discovery
- Documentation of internal logic and data handling
What you receive
- Technical analysis report with findings
- Documented behaviour and identified risks
- Recommendations for hardening or mitigation
- Indicators of compromise where relevant
- Attestation of authorised, lawful analysis
Evidence and reporting
How the work is kept honest- Evidence, frozen at issuanceFindings tie to something observed. When the report is issued, the evidence behind it is frozen in the same transaction and cannot be edited afterwards.
- A signed reportAn Ed25519 signature covers both the report content and the delivered file. Alter a byte of either and verification fails.
- Signed scope firstTesting starts only after written scope and signed authorization for systems you own or are entitled to have tested.
Anyone holding a Solvex report can verify it publicly without seeing its contents.
Our boundaries
What this engagement does not do, stated before it starts.
- Only software you own or are licensed and authorised to analyse
- No circumvention of protections you have no right to bypass
- No cracking or piracy of third-party licensed software
- Findings shared only with the authorised client
How this engagement runs
- 01
Intake
Tell us the system, the goal and the constraints. If the work is not a good fit, we say so before anyone is invoiced.
- 02
Scope and authorization
Written scope and signed authorization before anything is touched. Security testing runs only against systems you own or are contractually entitled to have tested.
- 03
Investigation or build
Specialists matched to the work. Findings are proven by hand — scanner output is a lead, never a finding.
- 04
Evidence
Every finding ties to something observed. When a report is issued, its evidence is frozen in the same transaction, so what backed the report cannot change afterwards.
- 05
Delivery
A signed report: an Ed25519 signature over both the content and the file, with a short verification reference you can read down a phone.
- 06
Verification and retest
Anyone holding the report can verify it publicly without seeing its contents. Fixes are retested as part of the engagement — “fixed” means we confirmed it.
Questions we are asked
- What can you reverse engineer?
- Software binaries, firmware, mobile apps and protocols that you own or are authorised to analyse. Common uses are vetting vendor components, understanding legacy software, or examining suspicious files.
- How do you confirm we're allowed to have this analysed?
- We require written confirmation that you own the software or hold the rights to have it examined. We won't crack or bypass protections you have no legal right to circumvent.
- What will we receive?
- A clear report of what the binary does, any risks or hidden behaviour found, and practical recommendations — translated out of assembly into decisions you can act on.

Firmware Security Analysis
Firmware is the code beneath the software, and it's often the least scrutinised. We analyse device firmware for hardcoded secrets, insecure update mechanisms and exploitable flaws, securing the layer attackers love because no one else looks.

Your mobile app runs on devices you don't control. We test iOS and Android builds for insecure storage, weak crypto, and backend flaws, covering the app, its APIs and the data it leaves behind.
