Download or read book Binary Code Reuse written by Junyuan Zeng and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Binary code reuse aims to extract certain pieces of code from application binaries and make it possible to recompile and relink them with other components to produce new software. With the wide existence of binary code, it is useful to reuse the binary code for different security applications, such as malware analysis and virtual machine introspection. For instance, a malware analyst could reuse proprietary decompression and decryption algorithms from malware binary in order to decode their encoded network messages for malware analysis. In this dissertation, we present a systematic dynamic binary analysis based approach for binary code reuse. In particular, to overcome the challenges for static binary analysis, like obfuscation, this dissertation focuses on applying automated dynamic binary analysis to advance the state-of-the-art of binary code reuse techniques in different aspects. Specifically, a novel solution is presented to generate reusable source code from binary execution traces, featuring obfuscation resilience, free point-to/alias analysis and so on. Meanwhile, in order to facilitate function-level code reuse, this dissertation also proposes a new technique to automatically recover function interfaces, which can instruct end users to generate and pass appropriate inputs. Finally, since the dynamic execution of our target programs may compromise our analysis, a new dynamic binary instrumentation framework is introduced for the purpose of secure analysis. Compared with the existing platforms, it holds the following advantages: it can perform out-of-VM instrumentation and introspection, it is PIN-API compatible, and it is platform independent.

Download or read book Binary Code Reuse Detection for Reverse Engineering and Malware Analysis written by He Huang and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Code reuse detection is a key technique in reverse engineering. However, existing source code similarity comparison techniques are not applicable to binary code. Moreover, compilers have made this problem even more difficult due to the fact that different assembly code and control flow structures can be generated by the compilers even when implementing the same functionality. To address this problem, we present a fuzzy matching approach to compare two functions. We first obtain our initial mapping between basic blocks by leveraging the concept of longest common subsequence on the basic block level and execution path level. Then, we extend the achieved mapping using neighborhood exploration. To make our approach applicable to large data sets, we designed an effective filtering process using Minhashing and locality-sensitive hashing. Based on the approach proposed in this thesis, we implemented a tool named BinSequence. We conducted extensive experiments to test BinSequence in terms of performance, accuracy, and scalability. Our results suggest that, given a large assembly code repository with millions of functions, BinSequence is efficient and can attain high quality similarity ranking of assembly functions with an accuracy above 90% within seconds. We also present several practical use cases including patch analysis, malware analysis, and bug search. In the use case for patch analysis, we utilized BinSequence to compare the unpatched and patched versions of the same binary, to reveal the vulnerability information and the details of the patch. For this use case, a Windows system driver (HTTP.sys) which contains a recently published critical vulnerability is used. For the malware analysis use case, we utilized BinSequence to identify reused components or already analyzed parts in malware so that the human analyst can focus on those new functionality to save time and effort. In this use case, two infamous malware, Zeus and Citadel, are analyzed. Finally, in the bug search use case, we utilized BinSequence to identify vulnerable functions in software caused by copying and pasting or sharing buggy source code. In this case, we succeeded in using BinSequence to identify a bug from Firefox. Together, these use cases demonstrate that our tool is both efficient and effective when applied to real-world scenarios. We also compared BinSequence with three state of the art tools: Diaphora, PatchDiff2 and BinDiff. Experiment results show that BinSequence can achieve the best accuracy when compared with these tools.

Download or read book Automatic Delinking of Executables for Object Code Reuse written by Brian A. Schieb and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reusing source code whenever possible is a common practice and saves the programmer much time. Unfortunately, source code is often times unavailable. Therefore, the ability to reuse functionality from binary executables is highly desirable. However, such reuse is difficult when source code is unavailable. Part of the reason is because all variables and instructions are allocated into specific and fixed locations in the binary during the linking process and hence become nonrelocatable. In this thesis, we present DELINKER, a tool that can automatically delink a binary executable into relocatable object files such that programmers can relink these object files when developing a new program, thereby enabling object code reuse. DELINKER addresses a number of technical challenges including binary code decomposition, memory address recognition, and relocation table reconstruction. The evaluation of DELINKER with the SPEC CPU2006 benchmark shows that we can use DELINKER to delink a binary program into a set of object files and relink the object files by using an off-the-self linker without any errors. We also present a simple case study showing the DELINKER can significantly save a programmer’s efforts by enabling component reuse when developing complicated functions such as (third-party) encryption and decryption functions.
