SRE Bench
Whether an agent can work out what a real-world binary does without its source code: reverse engineering across network protocols, firmware, games, file-format recovery and malware.
How it is run
19 programs averaging over 16,915 lines of code were written from scratch as a clean-room benchmark — more than 5,000 expert hours — and paired with a 27K-line anti-analysis suite, giving 262 contamination-free instances and 1,572 deterministically verifiable tasks. Every agent gets the same professional toolkit inside its sandbox: Ghidra, radare2, GDB, angr, binutils and dynamic tracers, plus tshark and exploitation libraries.
What it cannot tell you
This beta has a small field and large differences between models. Every agent receives the same professional toolkit, so access to those tools alone does not explain the differences in successful analysis.
