gMBA: Expression Semantic Guided Mixed Boolean-Arithmetic Deobfuscation Using Transformer Architectures (2025.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Mixed Boolean-Arithmetic (MBA) obfuscation protects intellectual property by converting programs into complex forms that are difficult to analyze. |
| Approach: | They propose a mixed-boolean-arithmetic (MBA) obfuscation framework that transforms a Transformer-based neural encoder-decoder into a truth table that is an automatically constructed semantic representation of an expression's behavior. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework improves performance and highlights the importance of internal semantic expressions in recovering obfuscated code to its original form. |
