Senior🎓
Top SchoolJason Reaves is a senior cyber intelligence and reverse engineering specialist with 13 years of hands-on experience dissecting advanced malware, designing heuristic detection engines, and leading global threat research at Walmart. He has deep expertise in malware crypto/encoding routines, automated unpacking and config extraction, and has authored multiple white papers and books on families like Cryptowall, TrickBot and Dyreza. Jason combines battlefield-honed analytical rigor—from leading PSYOP teams in the Army to tracking FIN groups—with practical tool-building (IDAPython, unicorn, MISP/ELK) to turn complex technical artifacts into actionable intelligence. As owner of Malwa.RE Services and a former principal researcher at industry vendors, he bridges corporate detection needs and research-first approaches, often solving problems with SMT and custom emulation techniques that aren’t obvious from incident reports alone.
