Help us move the needle on securing the next generation of software. We’re looking for awesome research on decompilation, agentic AI approaches, benchmarking, and program visualization & metrics and more. Check out the CFP: sure-workshop.org/cfp/

We thank our amazing organizers for their support. None of this would be possible without them: sure-workshop.org/organizers…

CCS has come to a close, and so has the first-ever SURE Workshop. We want to thank the authors, the PC, @moyix, our panel, and CCS for making SURE a success. We felt the support for this research area (the room was packed out for more than half the day). See you all next year!

Finally, stay in touch. We have an associated Discord (unorthodox, we know) to connect academics and practitioners: discord.gg/eVySXH7ZQ8 In fact, some of the attendees this year only made it due to the outreach on Discord. Come and chat!

On our last presented work at SURE, we have Noriki Sakamoto presenting "Toward Inferring Structural Semantics from Binary Code Using Graph Neural Networks"

In the special sub-area of type inferencing on binary code, Noriki's work explores the recovery of structs and how different GNN architectures may have better performance.

We're so back, and on our last session: Applications & Future Work. Changyu "Thomason" Zhao is presenting "LibIHT: A Hardware-Based Approach to Efficient and Evasion-Resistant Dynamic Binary Analysis". He is presenting virtually.

Indeed, LibIHT is more robust. They achieve better results on binaries that attempt to evade their analysis.

We're on our last talk of the session, remaining with the obfuscation topic. Dongpeng Xu is presenting "DEBRA: A Real-World Benchmark For Evaluating Deobfuscation Methods" in the place of Zheyun Feng.

Now, you got your crazy code, how do you select which functions in the code to obfuscate and evaluate on? Functions must be "sensitive" and "central". Sensitive: has sensitive info like a uid or gid or a password. Central: many other functions should depend on it (calls).
