Argos: an emulator for fingerprinting zero-day attacks for advertised honeypots with automatic signature generation
TL;DR: Argos is built upon a fast x86 emulator which tracks network data throughout execution to identify their invalid use as jump targets, function addresses, instructions, etc, and is able to generate accurate network intrusion detection signatures for the exploits that are immune to payload mutations.
Proceedings Article
Dowsing for overflows: a guided fuzzer to find buffer boundary violations
TL;DR: Dowser is a 'guided' fuzzer that combines taint tracking, program analysis and symbolic execution to find buffer overflow and underflow vulnerabilities buried deep in a program's logic.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Practical Context-Sensitive CFI
Victor van der Veen,Dennis Andriesse,Enes Goktas,Ben Gras,Lionel Sambuc,Asia Slowinska,Herbert Bos,Cristiano Giuffrida +7 more
TL;DR: This work shows that Context-sensitive CFI (CCFI) for both the backward and forward edge can be implemented efficiently on commodity hardware, and presents PathArmor, a binary-level CCFI implementation which tracks paths to sensitive program states, and defines the set of valid control edges within the state context to yield higher precision.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Pointless tainting?: evaluating the practicality of pointer tainting
Asia Slowinska,Herbert Bos +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that depending on architecture and operating system, pointer tainting may have some value in detecting memory orruption attacks, but it is fundamentally not suitable for automated detecting of privacy-breaching malware such as keyloggers.
Book ChapterDOI
Minemu: the world's fastest taint tracker
TL;DR: This paper designed a new type of emulator from scratch with the goal of removing superfluous instructions to propagate taint, and the results are very promising.
