  • Automatic Reusability Analysis of Software Binaries
    AUTOMATIC REUSABILITY ANALYSIS OF SOFTWARE BINARIES RAMAKRISHNAN VENKITARAMAN and GOPAL GUPTA Applied Logic, Programming-Languages, and Systems (ALPS) Laboratory Department of Computer Science The University of Texas at Dallas Email: [email protected], [email protected] 1 We consider reusability of software component binaries. Reuse of code at the binary level is im- portant because usually only the machine code for system components is available; vendors do not want to share their source code for proprietary reasons. We develop necessary and sufficient conditions for ensuring that software binaries are reusable and relate them to the coding standards that have been developed in the industry to ensure binary code reusability. These coding stan- dards, in essence, discourage the (i) use of hard-coded pointers, and (ii) writing of non-reentrant code. Checking that binary code satisfies these standards/conditions, however, is undecidable, in general. We thus develop static analysis based methods for checking if a software binary satisfies these conditions. We also consider the problem of automatically checking if coding standards have been followed in the development of embedded applications. The problem arises from practical considerations because DSP chip manufacturers (in our case Texas Instruments) want various third party software developers to adhere to a certain coding standard to facilitate system inte- gration during application development. This static analysis rests on an abstract interpretation framework. Our analyzer takes object code as input, disassembles it, builds the flow-graph, and statically analyzes the flow-graph for the presence of dereferenced pointers that are hard coded. The analyzer is currently being extended to check for compliance with other rules adopted by TI as part of its coding standards.

    Coding Guidelines and Quick Start Tips for Software Development Version 0.6 (in progress) Includes: C, Python, and some Assembler and C++ File: “C:\Travel_Briefcase\EricSchool\Research\Coding Guidelines.doc” Last modified by Eric L. Michelsen The goal of coding guidelines is to improve the productivity of all software development: Easier, faster, more reliable. 1. Source code is a language for people, not just computers. 2. Comment as you go. Don’t wait for later. 3. Ask yourself: “How will the next person know that?” “Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by [implication], not smart enough to debug it.” - Brian W. Kernighan “Whenever possible, ignore the coding standards currently in use by thousands of developers in your project’s target language and environment.” - Roedy Green, How To Write Unmaintainable Code, www.strauss.za.com/sla/code_std.html “There is much more to programming than simply writing the code.” - T.

Because compilers are such a crucial piece of infrastructure for building software, their correctness is of paramount importance. To validate and increase the correctness of compilers, significant research efforts have been devoted to testing compilers. This survey article provides a comprehensive summary of the current state of the art of research on compiler testing. The survey covers different aspects of the compiler testing problem, including how to construct test programs, what test oracles to use for determining whether a compiler behaves correctly, how to execute compiler tests efficiently, and how to help compiler developers take action on bugs discovered by compiler testing. Moreover, we survey work that empirically studies the strengths and weaknesses of current compiler

  • Permissionless Banking API
    Permissionless Banking API Christos Kyprianou Permissionless Banking API Master’s Thesis in Embedded Systems Parallel and Distributed Systems group Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, and Computer Science Delft University of Technology Christos Kyprianou Jan 31, 2018 Author Christos Kyprianou Title Permisionless Banking API MSc presentation Jan 31, 2018 Graduation Committee dr. ir. J. A. Pouwelse Delft University of Technology dr. J.S. Rellermeyer Delft University of Technology dr. Z. Erkin Delft University of Technology Abstract In this document we present an in-depth vulnerability assessment of the HSBC banking system. Going beyond prior work, we investigate the full stack down to the Java bytecode level and further analyze its 3 key platforms: Android OS, IOS and online banking. During the process we analyze their main security feature, OTP generation algorithm and examine the inner workings of mobile/online bank- ing through various vulnerability assesment techniques and successful man in the browser attacks in their main platforms showing the client-server communication packet flow. During the process we discovered several vulnerabilities and show that HSBC leaks details to multiple webserver which are not under it’s direct control such as: lo.v.liveperson.net. Additionally, the HSBC app is found to be inefficient, for instance, it repeatedly sends ”Lorum Ipsum” phrases. A gross waste of band- width, bordering on incompetence. Finally we present our own version that is able to perform the basic banking functions: 1-log-in, 2-view accounts and balances, 3- view transaction history and 4-perform transactions, adding more than 200% speed improvement. iv Preface This is the report of my MSc thesis project on implementing and testing a permis- sionless banking API, for the completion of my MSc degree in Embedded Systems.
