Mining Characteristics of Vulnerable Smart Contracts across Lifecycle Stages

IET Blockchain, Volume 5, Issue 1, January/December 2025.
This paper conducts the first empirical study on smart contract security across three lifecycle stages: deployment and execution, upgrade, and destruction. It identifies seven vulnerability‐related features and applies them to machine learning models, revealing stage‐specific vulnerability patterns and improving detection accuracy.

Seeing Through EVM Bytecode Obfuscation

IEEE Access
The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) executes smart contracts using low-level, stack-based bytecode instructions. As these contracts grow in complexity and financial value, they increasingly attract adversaries who seek to evade detection by employing ...

Sound and Precise Malware Analysis for Android via Pushdown Reachability and Entry-Point Saturation [PDF]

, 2013
We present Anadroid, a static malware analysis framework for Android apps. Anadroid exploits two techniques to soundly raise precision: (1) it uses a pushdown system to precisely model dynamically dispatched interprocedural and exception-driven control ...

Enhancing intrusion detection against denial of service and distributed denial of service attacks: Leveraging extended Berkeley packet filter and machine learning algorithms

IET Communications, Volume 19, Issue 1, January/December 2025.
Abstract As organizations increasingly rely on network services, the prevalence and severity of Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have emerged as significant threats. The cornerstone of effectively addressing these challenges lies in the timely and precise detection capabilities offered by advanced intrusion ...

PathFuzzer: Sensitive Information Flow Path‐Guided Fuzzing for Intent Vulnerabilities in Android Applications

IET Information Security, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Intent vulnerabilities pose a significant threat as they allow attackers to exploit unverified intent messages, leading to sensitive data leaks, privilege escalations, or unauthorized actions that compromise user privacy and system security. Fuzzing methods, as traditional Intent vulnerability detection methods, are guided by the edge coverage of the ...
