Exploring Recent Academic Insights from Usenik's Woot Conference

Methodology is the theme of this week's episode. We cover posts about static analysis via CodeQL, as well as a novel blackbox binary querying language called QueryX. Project Zero also leverages Large Language Models to successfully find a SQLite vulnerability. Finally, we wrap up with some discussion on Hexacon and WOOT talks, with a focus on Clem1's In-The-Wild exploit chains insights via Google's Threat Analysis Group.
