CREBench: Evaluating Large Language Models in Cryptographic Binary Reverse Engineering

Reverse engineering (RE) is central to software security, particularly for cryptographic programs that handle sensitive data and are highly prone to vulnerabilities. It supports critical tasks such as vulnerability discovery and malware analysis. Despite its importance, RE remains labor-intensive and requires substantial expertise, making large language models (LLMs) a potential solution for automating the process. However, their capabilities for RE remain systematically underexplored. To address this gap, we study the cryptographic binary RE capabilities of LLMs and introduce \textbf{CREBench}, a benchmark comprising 432 challenges built from 48 standard cryptographic algorithms, 3 insecure crypto key usage scenarios, and 3 difficulty levels. Each challenge follows a Capture-the-Flag (CTF) RE challenge, requiring the model to analyze the underlying cryptographic logic and recover the correct input. We design an evaluation framework comprising four sub-tasks, from algorithm identification to correct flag recovery. We evaluate eight frontier LLMs on CREBench. GPT-5.4, the best-performing model, achieves 64.03 out of 100 and recovers the flag in 59\% of challenges. We also establish a strong human expert baseline of 92.19 points, showing that humans maintain an advantage in cryptographic RE tasks.

DeepfakeBench-MM: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Multimodal Deepfake Detection

The misuse of advanced generative AI models has resulted in the widespread proliferation of falsified data, particularly forged human-centric audiovisual content, which poses substantial societal risks (e.g., financial fraud and social instability). In response to this growing threat, several works have preliminarily explored countermeasures. However, the lack of sufficient and diverse training data, along with the absence of a standardized benchmark, hinder deeper exploration. To address this challenge, we first build Mega-MMDF, a large-scale, diverse, and high-quality dataset for multimodal deepfake detection. Specifically, we employ 21 forgery pipelines through the combination of 10 audio forgery methods, 12 visual forgery methods, and 6 audio-driven face reenactment methods. Mega-MMDF currently contains 0.1 million real samples and 1.1 million forged samples, making it one of the largest and most diverse multimodal deepfake datasets, with plans for continuous expansion. Building on it, we present DeepfakeBench-MM, the first unified benchmark for multimodal deepfake detection. It establishes standardized protocols across the entire detection pipeline and serves as a versatile platform for evaluating existing methods as well as exploring novel approaches. DeepfakeBench-MM currently supports 5 datasets and 11 multimodal deepfake detectors. Furthermore, our comprehensive evaluations and in-depth analyses uncover several key findings from multiple perspectives (e.g., augmentation, stacked forgery). We believe that DeepfakeBench-MM, together with our large-scale Mega-MMDF, will serve as foundational infrastructures for advancing multimodal deepfake detection.
