Abstract

Disassembly plays a fundamental and important role in reverse engineering. A static disassembly method based on a refining control flow graph was developed to improve disassembly accuracy and efficiency. The method slices the binary into functions and constructs an intra-procedure control flow graph for each function. Then, it extracts the real control flow graph as per graph theory and the assembly code features. This program evaluated 22 coreutils programs between these two linear sweep algorithms and is 63.2% faster than Objdump for drawing accurate control flow graphs. Therefore, it is more efficient and accurate.
