Workshop: Hands-on binary (de)obfuscation

ARNAU GÀMEZ I MONTOLIO

March 22 @ TCC >>

Abstract

In this workshop, we will provide an introduction to state-of-the-art approaches for modern binary (de)obfuscation. After a brief lecture on the fundamental ideas, we will walk through practical examples. We will use symbolic execution to retrieve the obfuscated expression from the compiled binary and attempt to simplify it, and finally, we will leverage program synthesis to reason about and successfully recover the semantics of the obfuscated code.
