Revnivykh A.V., Velizhanin A.S. - Methods for automated formation of a disassembled listing structure pp. 1-16

Abstract: The subject of the research is the method of splitting a disassembled code into logical blocks in automatic mode, searching for software vulnerabilities without using source code (using a binary file or its equivalent, obtained by reverse engineering).The object of the research is the existing code analyzers and features of their functionality.The aim of the study is to consider the possibility of splitting a disassembled code into logical blocks in automatic mode and some of the possible difficulties associated with this.Formulation of the problem. The complexity of analyzing large software products at the level of machine code necessitates the automation of this process. The research methodology is based on a combination of theoretical and empirical approaches using the methods of static and dynamic analysis, comparison, generalization, algorithmization, modeling, synthesis. Key findings. Splitting the code into blocks by sequential in line-by-line analysis of machine code in some cases can lead to misinterpretation. In addition, the analysis of the code according to the conclusions of the functions also does not guarantee the correctness of the determination of the boundaries of the functions. However, in general, the matrix method can be applied to analyze the dependencies of functions on the blocks of code thus selected.The scientific novelty is connected with the determination of promising vectors for the study of software code for vulnerability, the rationale for the approach (building the transition matrix from integer values), which may be the initial stage of preparation for the automated analysis of the disassembled code.

Revnivykh A.V., Velizhanin A.S. - The study of the disassembled representation of executable files generated by different compilers. Example of buffer overflow vulnerability. pp. 1-17

DOI:
10.25136/2644-5522.2019.1.28238

Abstract: The subject of the study is a potential  buffer overflow vulnerability in various software related to the function of the standard C / C ++ strcpy programming language library and approaches and methods for finding such vulnerabilities. The object of the study is the data of the machine code of the compilers when the program is assembled in various modes. The purpose of the study is to analyze some features of the machine code generated by various compilers for Windows and Linux in the Debug and Release modes, including, on the basis of this, a review of the buffer overflow vulnerability. Research methods. The paper reviews and develops methods for constructing algorithms for searching for buffer overflow vulnerabilities, examines the characteristics of this vulnerability at the level of machine code. This is done using the Visual C ++ compilers, Intel C ++ compilers, g ++ compilers, as well as the WinDBG, GDB debuggers. Key findings. Building programs in different modes leads to the formation of differences in the executable code, which is made from the completely same high-level programming language code; these differences manifest themselves in differences in program behavior. In the course of researching software in search of vulnerabilities, it is important to analyze computer code in order to identify hidden patterns. The novelty of the study lies in identifying differences in the machine code obtained after assembling the same high-level code, identifying compiler stamps when executing the assembly of the program in different modes. A special contribution of the author to the study of the topic is the development of methods for constructing algorithms for searching for buffer overflow vulnerabilities.
