Static analysis tools have improved significantly in recent years with advances in intermediate representations, symbolic execution, constraint solving, control flow recovery, and static data flow analysis. Scripting of static analysis has improved at ...

We present a new approach that bridges binary analysis techniques with machine learning classification for the purpose of providing a static and generic evaluation technique for opaque predicates, regardless of their constructions. We use this technique ...

As the underground industry of malware prospers, malware developers consistently attempt to camouflage malicious code and undermine malware detection with various obfuscation schemes. Among them, metamorphism is known to have the potential to defeat the ...

The strength of obfuscated software has increased over the recent years. Compiler based obfuscation has become the de facto standard in the industry and recent papers also show that injection of obfuscation techniques is done at the compiler level. In ...

Competitive online video gaming (or eSports for short) is a booming industry. Current estimates predict global revenues of well over 1 billion dollars by the end of this year, Twitch.tv the largest eSports streaming network is now one of the biggest ...

Code obfuscation aims at protecting the intellectual property of applications delivered in an unmanaged environment. The process usually involves selecting and successively applying various transformation techniques, for instance at compile time, with ...

Self-checksumming (SC) is a tamper-proofing technique that ensures certain program segments (code) in memory hash to known values at runtime. SC has few restrictions on application and hence can protect a vast majority of programs. The code verification ...

Fault injections are increasingly used to attack/test secure applications. In this paper, we define formal models of runtime monitors that can detect fault injections that result in test inversion attacks and arbitrary jumps in the control flow. Runtime ...

In this tutorial, the Ghidra software reverse engineering framework will be presented, its characteristics highlighted and its features to the hitherto industry standard in reverse engineering tools, IDA Pro - the interactive disassembler, compared ...
