This research is an attempt toward facilitating the authorship attribution of an unknown .NET executable by identifying obfuscation resistant features of .NET binaries. The primary goal of this study is to examine the effectiveness of obfuscation techniques for hiding the author's programming style. In this research, I have tested features such as op-code frequencies, op-code n-grams, API function calls and some features obtained from program Control Flow Graph.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
