Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and methods for automatically reverse engineering an input data format using dynamic data flow analysis. Combining input data with a simulated execution of the binary program using the input data and analyzing the use of the data by the program to generate a BNL-like grammar representing the input data format. The input data can be application level protocols, network protocols or formatted files.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A system comprising: machine-interpretable code configured to: select a binary program file for use in input data analysis, select an input data source having an input data format, simulate execution of the binary program file in combination with the input data source, analyze the simulated execution of the binary program file, identify multiple fields of the input data source using the simulated execution of the binary program file in combination w…
