Abstract:
A first set of code, for example source code, and a second code, for example binary code, are compared to find corresponding functions. A comparison of features can be used to find correspondences of functions. The comparison of functions can be iterated and can be refined and can be further used to carry out a further, stricter comparison of functions found to correspond to reduce the chance of falsely finding a function in the second code to be accountable in the first code.
