  • Improving Security Through Egalitarian Binary Recompilation
    Improving Security Through Egalitarian Binary Recompilation David Williams-King Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2021 © 2021 David Williams-King All Rights Reserved Abstract Improving Security Through Egalitarian Binary Recompilation David Williams-King In this thesis, we try to bridge the gap between which program transformations are possible at source-level and which are possible at binary-level. While binaries are typically seen as opaque artifacts, our binary recompiler Egalito (ASPLOS 2020) enables users to parse and modify stripped binaries on existing systems. Our technique of binary recompilation is not robust to errors in disassembly, but with an accurate analysis, provides near-zero transformation overhead. We wrote several demonstration security tools with Egalito, including code randomization, control-flow integrity, retpoline insertion, and a fuzzing backend. We also wrote Nibbler (ACSAC 2019, DTRAP 2020), which detects unused code and removes it. Many of these features, including Nibbler, can be combined with other defenses resulting in multiplicatively stronger or more effective hardening. Enabled by our recompiler, an overriding theme of this thesis is our focus on deployable software transformation. Egalito has been tested by collaborators across tens of thousands of Debian programs and libraries. We coined this term egalitarian in the context of binary security. Simply put, an egalitarian analysis or security mechanism is one that can operate on itself (and is usually more deployable as a result). As one demonstration of this idea, we created a strong, deployable defense against code reuse attacks.

AVEZ-VOUS BESOIN DE CE LIVRE ? Vous devriez lire ce livre si vous voulez développer pour KDE. Nous utilisons le terme développement très largement pour couvrir tout ce qui peut conduire à un changement dans le code source, ce qui inclut : Soumettre une correction de bogue Écrire une nouvelle application optimisée par la technologie KDE Contribuer à un projet existant Ajouter de la fonctionnalité aux bibliothèques de développement de KDE Dans ce livre, nous vous livrerons les bases dont vous avez besoin pour être un développeur productif. Nous décrirons les outils que vous devrez installer, montrer comment lire la documentation (et écrire la vôtre propre, une fois que vous aurez créé la nouvelle fonctionnalité !) et comment obtenir de l'aide par d'autres moyens. Nous vous présenterons la communauté KDE, qui est essentielle pour comprendre KDE parce que nous sommes un projet « open source », libre (gratuit). Les utilisateurs finaux du logiciel n'ont PAS besoin de ce livre ! Cependant, ils pourraient le trouver intéressant pour les aider à comprendre comment les logiciels complexes et riches en fonctionnalités qu'ils utilisent ont vu le jour. 3 2. LA PHILOSOPHIE DE KDE Le succès de KDE repose sur une vue globale, que nous avons trouvée à la fois pratique et motivante. Les éléments de cette philosophie de développement comprennent : L'utilisation des outils disponibles plutôt que de ré-inventer ceux existants : beaucoup des bases dont vous avez besoin pour travailler font déjà partie de KDE, comme les bibliothèques principales ou les « Kparts », et sont tout à fait au point.
