Binary analysis is imperative for protecting COTS (common off-the-shelf) programs and analyzing and defending against the myriad of malicious code, where source code is unavailable, and the binary may even be obfuscated. Also, binary analysis provides the ground truth about program behavior since computers execute binaries (executables), not source code. However, binary analysis is challenging […]

Microsoft CAT.NET v1.1.1.9 – Binary Code Analysis Tool .NET
[ad] CAT.NET is a binary code analysis tool that helps identify common variants of certain prevailing vulnerabilities that can give rise to common attack vectors such as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), SQL Injection and XPath Injection. CAT.NET is a snap-in to the Visual Studio IDE that helps you identify security flaws within a managed code (C#, […]
Tmin – Test Case Optimizer for Automated Security Testing
[ad] Tmin is a simple utility meant to make it easy to narrow down complex test cases produced through fuzzing. It is closely related to another tool of this type, delta, but meant specifically for unknown, underspecified, or hard to parse data formats (without the need to tokenize and re-serialize data), and for easy integration […]
Keep on Fuzzing! Advice
[ad] As you will have noticed we’ve posted quite a number of Fuzzing Tools built around different frameworks and in different languages..most for difference targets/purposes too. Fuzzing has definitely exploded in the last year or so as more people try and understand it and code tools to automate the process. There are tools for Web […]
SCARE – Source Code Analysis Risk Evaluation Tool
[ad] The Source Code Analysis Risk Evaluation project is a study to create a security complexity metric that will analyze source code and provide a realistic and factual representation of the potential of that source code to create a problematic binary. This metric will not say that the binary will be exploited nor does it […]
