Rosetta 2 and AssaultCube

2025–10–25

Coming off the prior AssaultCube post, I recently presented a talk about it for Ruxmon Melbourne last month!

Slides in question

Attached is a basic overview of my slides, and this page will get updated with my github commits in the future.

Going forward for my next project, I’d love to try to move to Zig as a tool to craft these cheats over Rust - I found it hard to do exploit development in a language where the compiler and computer is yelling at me all the time.

Plans are to make a natural step-by-step machine for crafting bespoke tests against Javascript engines. This isn’t going to be useful at all, but I want to understand a bit more about compilers and AST (abstract syntax trees) and lexers by having a powerlevel10k-like wizard where a user goes through a list of options to craft a list of tests that can be optimised.

I imagine it will be pretty similar to LLVMs tutorial for making your own language using their pipeline and example of clang, so I’m pretty excited to get on with it!

Till next time!
