Im doing simple REVERSE ENGINEERING so I can understand the code and offer improvements if I can spot any issues.

This falsely triggered cybersecurity flags.

this slowdown is unbearable, please remove this

extent analysis

TL;DR

The user may need to apply for the Trusted Access for Cyber program or await review to remove the cybersecurity flags that are causing slowdowns during reverse engineering activities.

Guidance

  • Review the provided link (https://chatgpt.com/cyber) to understand the requirements for the Trusted Access for Cyber program and determine if it's applicable.
  • Consider reaching out to support to clarify why reverse engineering activities are being flagged as potential cybersecurity risks and if there are alternative solutions.
  • Evaluate if the slowdown is significantly impacting productivity and if temporary workarounds, such as using a different model or platform, could be explored.
  • Verify that the reverse engineering activities are strictly for studying purposes and not violating any terms of service.

Notes

The issue seems to be related to the flags triggered by the system, and the user's activities being misclassified as cybersecurity risks. However, without more information about the specific reverse engineering tasks, it's difficult to provide a more tailored solution.

Recommendation

Apply for the Trusted Access for Cyber program, as it may provide a more straightforward solution to removing the flags and associated slowdowns, assuming the user's activities align with the program's requirements and terms.
