Implicit Patterns in LLM-Based Binary Analysis

ArXi:2603.19138v1 Announce Type: new Binary vulnerability analysis is increasingly performed by LLM-based agents in an iterative, multi-pass manner, with the model as the core decision-maker. However, how such systems organize exploration over hundreds of reasoning steps remains poorly understood, due to limited context windows and implicit token-level behaviors. We present the first large-scale, trace-level study showing that multi-pass LLM reasoning gives rise to structured, token-level implicit patterns.
