01 — THREE WAYS WE WORK

The expertise you need.
The way you need it.

Bring us a research challenge. Build the capability in-house. Or help your team get more from the tools.

01
SOLVE THE PROBLEM

Research assistance

Reverse engineering and vulnerability research support for Android and iOS. Work through difficult questions with an expert-led, agent-assisted approach.

  • Firmware preparation and analysis
  • Annotated code and research reports
  • Potential vulnerability leads for validation
Discuss your needs
02
BUILD THE CAPABILITY

Local AI deployment

An environment configured for the way your team works. We help choose hardware and models, then connect the tools and workflows you already use.

  • Hardware guidance and model selection
  • Configured VM and tool integration
  • Workflow automation and documentation
Discuss your needs
03
ENABLE YOUR TEAM

Training & support

Help researchers direct the agents, evaluate their output, and operate the environment. Continue refining the setup as your needs evolve.

  • Hands-on workflow training
  • Optional ongoing model evaluation
  • Tool integration and troubleshooting
Discuss your needs
02 — FROM FIRMWARE TO FINDINGS

The tedious parts, handled.
The investigation, yours.

A connected research workflow that gives agents the repetitive work and keeps your expertise at the center.

01

Acquire & extract

Automate firmware downloading and extraction so you can move beyond the setup work.

02

Prepare & decompile

Organize the extracted binaries and automate decompilation to prepare the research workspace.

03

Investigate together

Guide agents through reverse engineering and vulnerability research using your tools and judgment.

04

Review the findings

Review annotated code, research reports, and potential vulnerability leads. Validate findings before acting on them.

03 — YOUR ENVIRONMENT. YOUR WORKFLOW.

Your perimeter.
Your possibilities.

The right setup starts with how your researchers work. We help select hardware, evaluate models, and configure the harness that connects your agents, tools, and workflows.

You purchase the hardware. We help turn it into a working research environment, with the configuration and documentation your team needs.

WHAT TO EXPECT
01

Start with the workflow

Tell us what your team needs to investigate.

02

Explore the working tools

Walk through preparation, analysis, and outputs.

03

Discuss your environment

Explore tools, hardware, deployment, and training.

The demo VM connects to AI hosted on our hardware. Customer deployments can run locally or air-gapped.

04 — THE MISSION

Give great researchers
more room to think.

The best use of research AI is to give skilled people more time to think.

2ndShift Cyber is built around that idea. We combine hands-on reverse engineering, local AI systems, and workflow integration to help government, defense, intelligence, and contractor teams tackle demanding research.

Our approach starts with a working demonstration and a conversation about your needs. From there, we scope the research, deployment, or training that fits your team.
