Google has its software BinDiff for security researchers made available for free. It enables reverse engineering, therefore, tries to make binary executables for people to understand. As the name suggests, the emphasis is on the comparison of binary programs, in particular to errors entdecken.
‘);}googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(“div-gpt-ad-DESKTOP_IN_ARTICLE-0″);});document.write(‘
‘);}})(jQuery);
How Google employee Christian Blichmann writes in a blog post, the program originates from Zynamics that Google has taken the 2011th According to him, one can thus compare versions of programs and determine what makes a patch exactly. In addition, analysis of binary files can be transferred to others, a multiple analysis of programs – about malware binaries – exclude and exploit earlier findings about function and variable names and comments
Google even uses the program in the security department to analyze malicious programs. This can be checked, for example, if a patch fulfills its function, make the changes that malware authors to their programs to avoid detection, and search directly for vulnerabilities.
“Since Zynamics 2011 came to Google, we have always tried to keep our most valuable tools available for the security research community,” writes Blichmann. “We have just lowered the price, and now we are taking the next logical step to offer it free of charge.”
Google puts on Zynamics site versions for Debian Linux and Windows available for download. but also the disassembler Hex-Rays IDA Pro (version 6.8) is required for use, the cost as a starter version 529 euros.
How to digitize the car manufacturers recorded
the large number of car manufacturers at CES shows that the digitization also covers the automotive industry. In order for the future to be competitive, companies are adapting their structure and modernize business processes.
For example, Felix Domke had to reverse engineer the Bosch used by VW for the manipulation of emission tests software analyzes and noted here that the engine temperature threshold above which an “alternate mode” takes on an absurd figure of EUR 3276.8 Kelvin (minus 3003 degrees Celsius) was set. This he explained in December at the 32nd Chaos Communication Congress (32c3) in Hamburg. Even intelligence agencies like the NSA and GCHQ use reverse engineering. To complicate their work, to Obfuskationstechniken can use.
Google had acquired Zynamics headquartered in Bochum 2011 for an unknown price. Managing Director of the company was founded in 2004, Thomas Dullien, in the hacker community known as “Halvar Flake”. 2007, entering the United States was denied because of visa violations after US customs officers had found for research needed items in his luggage again. 2010 succeeded the Zynamics Leaders Vincenzo Iozzo, together with Ralf Philipp Weinmann of the University of Luxembourg to hack on the hacking competition Pwn2Own iPhone.
