Comment on We hid backdoors in ~40MB binaries and asked AI + Ghidra to find themparent

All the docs are already in its training data, wouldn't that just pollute the context? I think giving a model better/non-free tooling would help as mentioned. binja code mode can be useful but you definitely need to give these models a lot of babysitting and encouragement and their limitations shine with large binaries or functions. But sometimes if you have a lot to go through and just need some starting point to triage, false pos are fine.

No - there is a reason that coding agents are constantly looking up docs from the web, even though they were presumably trained on that data. Having this information directly in context results in much higher fidelity than relying on the information embedded in the model.
