The method includes receiving data of an application, the application deployed on a workload in a first computing environment; detecting a plurality of anchor points in the data; and generating an application graph, including a plurality of first nodes, based on the plurality of anchor points, wherein each anchor point corresponds to a first node, and wherein at least a first node of the plurality of nodes is connected to at least another node of the plurality of nodes.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an approach that receives an application code including an external initialization code component. The approach emulates the external initialization code component in a simulated local computing environment. The approach records, by a processing circuitry, an action by the external initialization code component to the application code during code initialization. In turn, the approach generates, based on the action, a set of instructions for a static analyzer to perform static analysis on the application code.

Abstract: A system and method for performing static analysis on an application having an external initialization includes receiving an application code having an external initialization code component, the application code deployed in a cloud computing environment; simulating a local computing environment in which to execute the received application code; emulating at least the external initialization code component in the simulated local computing environment; recording an action performed by the external initialization code component; and generating a set of instructions for a static analyzer to perform static analysis on the application and the generated set of instructions.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an approach of executing application code on a simulator and receiving a result from a hook in response to executing the application code. The hook corresponds to a call to a code object which is inaccessible to the simulator. The result is from an emulation of a connection response corresponding to the code object. The approach generates instructions based on the result and, in turn, performs static analysis on the application code based on the instructions.
