However, a significant gap remains between existing softwaretools and what many security applications demand. In this paper, we present ourwork on developing a cross-platform interactive analysis tool, which leveragestechniques such as symbolic execution and taint tracking to analyze binary codeon a range of platforms. The tool builds upon IDA, a popular reverse engineeringplatform, and provides a unified analysis engine to handle various instruction setsand operating systems. We have evaluated the tool on a set of real-world applications and shown that it can help identify the root causes of security vulnerabilitiesquickly. Show less
