Symbolic Execution of Obfuscated Code [PDF]
Proceedings of the 22nd ACM SIGSAC Conference on Computer and Communications Security, 2015 Symbolic and concolic execution nd important applications in a number of security-related program analyses, including analysis of malicious code. However, malicious code tend to very often be obfuscated, and current concolic analysis techniques have trouble dealing with some of these obfuscations, leading to imprecision and/or excessive resource usage.

Proceedings of the Eighth ACM Conference on Data and Application Security and Privacy, 2018 Early developments in code obfuscation were chiefly motivated by the needs of Digital Rights Management (DRM). Other suggested applications included intellectual property protection of software and code diversification to combat the monoculture problem of operating systems. Code obfuscation is typically employed in security scenarios where an adversary

Deobfuscation: Reverse Engineering Obfuscated Code [PDF]
12th Working Conference on Reverse Engineering (WCRE'05), 2006 In recent years, code obfuscation has attracted attention as a low cost approach to improving software security by making it difficult for attackers to understand the inner workings of proprietary software systems. This paper examines techniques for automatic deobfuscation of obfuscated programs, as a step towards reverse engineering such programs. Our
