Publication number: 20150294114Abstract: In one implementation, an application randomization system accesses an annotated intermediate representation of an application, identifies a first instruction block within the annotated intermediate representation, and randomly selects a first modification for the first instruction block. The application randomization system then identifies a second instruction block within the annotated intermediate representation and randomly selects a second modification different from the first modification for the second instruction block. The application randomization system then generates a native-code representation of the application in which the first modification is applied to the first instruction block and the second modification is applied to the second instruction block.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2012Publication date: October 15, 2015Inventors: Brian Quentin Monahan, Keith Alexander Harrison
