The primary objective of AT techniques is to protect critical program information by preventing unauthorized modification and use of software. This protection goal applies to any program that requires protection from unauthorized disclosure or inadvertent transfer of leadingedge technologies and sensitive Obfuscatorshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05486551530956025508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654623496236175009.post-42392097557309106932008-04-28T21:22:00.000-07:002008-12-09T23:05:28.230-08:00Static Disassembly of Obfuscated BinariesDisassembly is the process of recovering a symbolic representation of a program's machine code instructions from its binary representation. Recently, a number of techniques have been proposed that attempt to foil the disassembly process. These techniques are very effective against state–of–the–art disassemblers, preventing a substantial fraction of a binary program from being disassembled Obfuscatorshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05486551530956025508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654623496236175009.post-79396527253506242902008-04-26T18:12:00.000-07:002008-04-26T18:24:28.950-07:00Obfuscation, Weird Languages, and Code AestheticsThe standard idea of code aesthetics, when such an idea manifests itself at all, allows for programmers to have elegance and clarity as their standards. This paper explores programming practices in which other values are at work, showing that the aesthetics of code must be enlarged to accommodate them. The two practices considered are obfuscated programming and the creation of «weird languages» Obfuscatorshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05486551530956025508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654623496236175009.post-20846769886737833832008-04-23T18:42:00.000-07:002008-04-23T19:08:44.346-07:00Experiment With Control Code ObfuscationControl code obfuscation is intended to prevent malicious reverse engineering of software by masking the program control flow. The idea for further advancing the state of the art was presented in 2000 by WANG C. An obfuscating system for Java based on the ideas of WANG C is implemented and experimented. The experiment results show that obfuscation can be done efficiently with moderate increases Obfuscatorshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05486551530956025508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654623496236175009.post-77875017318373257732008-04-22T02:06:00.000-07:002008-12-09T23:05:28.435-08:00Deobfuscation — Reverse Engineering Obfuscated CodeIn recent years, code obfuscation has attracted attention as a low cost approach to improving software security by making it difficult for attackers to understand the inner workings of proprietary software systems. This paper examines techniques for automatic deobfuscation of obfuscated programs, as a step towards reverse engineering such programs. Our results indicate that much of the effects ofObfuscatorshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05486551530956025508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654623496236175009.post-81661915370970190732008-04-21T19:45:00.000-07:002008-04-22T03:00:45.842-07:00Code Obfuscation Using Genetic AlgorithmsWe intend to present a method of code obfuscation, in combination with the use of genetic algorithms, which may help make the challenge of breaking software less appealing to malicious users, without forcing developers to spend too much time and effort on the obfuscation process.
Before describing the details of our theory, we give a brief background introduction to software copy protection, as Obfuscatorshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05486551530956025508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654623496236175009.post-38928002849267206972008-04-13T16:12:00.000-07:002008-04-21T19:49:29.259-07:00Code Obfuscation Literature SurveyIn this paper we survey the current literature on code obfuscation and review current practices as well as applications. We analyze the different obfuscation techniques in relation to protection of intellectual property and the hiding of malicious code. Surprisingly, the same techniques used to thwart reverse engineers are used to hide malicious code from virus scanners.
