An AI agent successfully traced a complex decryption chain on an Android device using time travel debugging. The agent analyzed a 7-billion instruction trace in approximately 10 minutes, identifying the MTProto v2 decryption process down to AES-IGE. It also provided a correct description of the execution flow. AI
IMPACT Demonstrates AI's potential in reverse engineering and security analysis, potentially speeding up vulnerability discovery.
