Binary code analysis serves as the foundation for research in vulnerability discovery, software protection, and malicious code analysis. However, analyzing binary files is challenging due to the lack of high-level semantic information, leading to ...

Symbolic execution is widely used to detect vulnerabilities in software. The idea is to symbolically execute the program in order to find an executable path to a target instruction. For the analysis to be fully accurate, it must be performed on ...

Today’s Internet of Things (IoT) environments are heterogeneous as they are typically comprised of devices equipped with various CPU architectures and software platforms. Therefore, in defending IoT environments against security threats, the capability ...

The cryptographic techniques are commonly used in software protection against malicious re-engineering. How to efficiently detect encryption algorithms used in the software to determine if they meet protection requirements is an ...

Binary code traceability aims to use the relevant characteristics of anonymous binary codes to identify concealed authors or teams and replace error-prone and time-consuming manual reverse engineering tasks with automated systems. ...

Binary code fingerprinting is crucial in many security applications. Examples include malware detection, software infringement, vulnerability analysis, and digital forensics. It is also useful for security researchers and reverse engineers since it ...

• A novel scheme named SELF was proposed to recognize library functions used in stripped binary code. The key of SELF is combining the co-occurrence matrix and ...

During software development, numerous third-party library functions are often reused. Accurately recognizing library functions reused in software is of great significance for some security scenarios, such as the detection of known ...

In the era of the internet of things (IoT), software-enabled inter-connected devices are of paramount importance. The embedded systems are very frequently used in both security and privacy-sensitive applications. However, the underlying software (a.k.a. ...

Identifying free open-source software (FOSS) packages on binaries when the source code is unavailable is important for many security applications, such as malware detection, software infringement, and digital forensics. This capability enhances both the ...

Malware often encrypts its malicious code and sensitive data to avoid static pattern detection, thus detecting encryption functions and extracting the encryption keys in a malware can be very useful in security analysis. However, it’s a ...
