ICISS 2015 – FlowMiner: Automatic Summarization of Library Data-Flow for Malware Analysis

Abstract: FlowMiner is a tool for automatically mining expressive, fine-grained data-flow summaries from Java library bytecode. FlowMiner captures enough information to enable context, type, field, object and flow-sensitive partial program analysis of applications using the library. FlowMiner’s summaries are compact- flow details of a library that are non-critical for future partial program analysis of applications are elided into simple […]

ICSE 2014 – Atlas: A New Way to Explore Software, Build Analysis Tools

Abstract: Atlas is a new software analysis platform from EnSoft Corp. Atlas decouples the domain-specific analysis goal from its underlying mechanism by splitting analysis into two distinct phases. In the first phase, polynomial-time static analyzers index the software AST, building a rich graph database. In the second phase, users can explore the graph directly or […]
