TL;DR: In this paper, a computer-implemented method of tamper-protecting computer program code is presented, which includes: obtaining an input representation of the program code; identifying a conditional program statement for causing a data processing system to selectively execute one of at least a first and a second sets of program statements when said computer program is executed by a Data Processing System; replacing the identified conditional program statements with a set of transformed program statements to obtain obfuscated program code.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of tamper-protecting computer program code. The method comprises: obtaining an input representation of the computer program code; identifying a conditional program statement for causing a data processing system to selectively execute one of at least a first and a second sets of program statements when said computer program is executed by a data processing system; replacing said identified conditional program statement and the first and second sets of program statements with a set of transformed program statements to obtain obfuscated program code, wherein the set of transformed program statements is adapted to cause the data processing system to execute at least a part of each of the transformed program statements when said computer program is executed by the data processing system.

Systems and methods for identifying external functions called by untrusted applications
Peter Ferrie
- 31 Dec 2007
TL;DR: In this paper, a computer-implemented method for identifying external functions called by an untrusted application may comprise loading an application into an emulated computing environment, executing a first computer-readable instruction of the application, intercepting a request to access an external-function-specific region of memory, and identifying, by analyzing the request, an external function to be called by the first computerreadable instruction.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a system where a network security device is configured to determine whether an object includes one or more characteristics associated with a malicious attack, and the cloud computing service, communicatively coupled to and remotely located from the network security devices, includes virtual execution logic that, upon execution by a processing unit deployed as part of the Cloud Computing service, processes the object and monitors for behaviors of at least the object suggesting the object is associated with the malicious attack.
