Embedded devices are a pervasive and at times invisible part of our lives. Due to this
pervasiveness, security vulnerabilities may have severe consequences, particularly …

Recent advances in binary instrumentation have been focused on performance. By statically
transforming the code to avoid additional runtime operations, systems such as Egalito and …

Modern disassembly tools often rely on empirical evaluations to validate their performance
and discover their limitations, thus promoting long-term evolvement. To support the empirical …

Current function identification techniques have been mostly focused on a specific set of
binaries compiled for a specific CPU architecture. While recent deep-learning-based …

As CPU vendors introduce various hardware-assisted security features, modern compilers
have started to produce binaries containing security-related instructions. Interestingly, such …

Backward-edge control-flow hijacking via stack buffer overflow is the holy grail of software
exploitation. The ability to directly control critical stack data and the hijacked target makes …

Function entry identification is a crucial yet challenging task for binary disassemblers that
has been the focus of research in the past decades. However, recent researches show that …

Accurate disassembly of stripped binaries is the first step in binary analysis, instrumentation
and reverse engineering. Complex instruction sets such as the x86 pose major challenges …

Cyberattacks targeting vulnerabilities in the in-ternet of things (IoT) devices are increasing in
number an-nually. Accordingly, various methods and analysis tools for IoT vulnerability …
