On the Possibility of Malicious Obfuscation [PDF]

We study a new variant of malicious obfuscation, where untrusted third-party obfuscation tools/platforms covertly insert master backdoor in software programs. We show that such malicious obfuscation could be hard to identify by the software developer who

On Best-Possible Obfuscation [PDF]

, 2007
An obfuscator is a compiler that transforms any program (which we will view in this work as a boolean circuit) into an obfuscated program (also a circuit) that has the same input-output functionality as the original program, but is “unintelligible ...

Assessment of Source Code Obfuscation Techniques [PDF]

, 2016
Obfuscation techniques are a general category of software protections widely adopted to prevent malicious tampering of the code by making applications more difficult to understand and thus harder to modify.

Nasal soft‐tissue anatomy of Triceratops and other horned dinosaurs

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Although ceratopsid dinosaurs possess a characteristically hypertrophied narial region, soft‐tissue anatomy associated with such a skeletal structure and their biological significance remain poorly understood. The present study provides the first comprehensive hypothesis on the soft‐tissue anatomy in the ceratopsid rostrum based on the Extant ...

Five decades of software obfuscation: A retrospective

, 2017
We romp through the history of software obfuscation, providing non-technical explanations of key events in each decade. In the 1970s, obfuscation was an elite sport played by overly-clever programmers who hid undocumented features in system software.

Mitigating Obfuscation Attacks on Software Plagiarism Detectors via Subsequence Merging [PDF]

Plagiarism is a significant challenge in computer science education. Thus, tool-based approaches are widely used to combat software plagiarism. However, especially due to the recent rise of automated obfuscation via algorithmic or AI-based techniques ...

Fairness perceptions in marketing strategy and across the marketing mix: An integrative review and call to action

Consumer Psychology Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Fairness is a foundational and highly consequential construct in marketing, shaping purchase intentions, brand attitudes, complaints, boycotts, and word‐of‐mouth. Yet extant consumer research has largely concentrated on price fairness, leaving fairness across the rest of marketing strategy and the marketing mix comparatively underexplored ...

Design and Evaluation of the De-obfuscation Method against the Identifier Renaming Methods

International Journal of Networked and Distributed Computing (IJNDC), 2018
The Identifier Renaming Method (IRM) is a well-used obfuscation method since almost obfuscation tools use the algorithm, and easy to implement. The IRM transforms the identifier names in the programs to meaningless names in order to hard to understand ...
