Practical Binary Analysis: Build Your Own Linux Tools for Binary Instrumentation, Analysis, and Disassembly

Description

"Modern malware can increasingly obfuscate itself and thwart analysis, and we need more sophisticated methods to raise that dark curtain of knowledge, binary analysis can help. The goal of binary analysis is to determine the true properties of binary programs to understand what they really do. While reverse engineering and disassembly are critical first steps, there is much more to be learned."--Page 4 de la couverture.;Binary formats -- Anatomy of a binary -- The ELFformat -- The PE format : a brief introduction -- Building a binary loader using libbfd -- Binary analysis fundamentals -- Basic binary analysis in Linux -- Disassembly and binary analysis fundamentals -- Simple code injection techniques for ELF -- Advanced binary analysis -- Customizing disassembly -- Binary instrumentation -- Principles of dynamic taint analysis -- Practical dynamic taint analysis with libdft -- Principles of symbolic execution -- Practical symbolic execution with Triton.
