Reverse Engineering WebAssembly


Download ->->->-> https://urlin.us/2toXqy





In practice, people don't reverse engineer stuff by going over every single instruction manually. Instead, they use tools like IDA Pro that perform most of the tedious, repetitive work automatically, such as detecting loops and if/else branches, or identifying local variables.


I don't think there is such a flag. Stripping debug symbols obviously makes dynamic debugging more difficult, but you already mentioned that one. There are obfuscators that make the code jump around more than necessary, but you can't realistically stop a skilled and determined reverse engineer. In particular, if you are thinking about embedding a private key in your binary, then simply don't do that.


I think webassembly is significantly easier to reverse-engineer than obfuscated x86 assembly as wasm enforces control flow integrity and makes it impossible to manipulate locals outside of the frame they are from, while x86 allows you to clobber the return stack, all locals on the stack and allows you to jump into the middle of an instruction, making is significantly harder for tools to decompile in a way that is guaranteed to preserve semantics even in the face of heavy obfuscation. Wasm code also can't detect debuggers unlike x86 code which can detect them if the debugger doesn't deliberately prevent this. For example segments are reset whenever there is an interrupt like a debug interrupt. Or you can read the actual code to check if it hasn't been replaced with a software breakpoint. Various OSes also have api's that detect debuggers. Wasm doesn't have any of this. If the x86 assembly is not obfuscated using any tricks, there isn't much difference with wasm though when using tools like a decompiler.


I am a software engineer at Google, where I work on the V8 JavaScript engine, specifically on WebAssembly. I am broadly interested in programming languages, software engineering, systems, and security. I want to make software development enjoyable, and would like the resulting programs to be correct, secure, and performant. Before, I was a PhD student in the amazing Software Lab group at University of Stuttgart, advised by Prof. Dr. Michael Pradel. I defended my thesis (with distinction) in July 2022. I worked on static and dynamic program analysis (Wasabi, type prediction from binaries); compilers and programming languages (during internships at Oracle Labs and Google); software security (Wobfuscator project, internship at Google, bachelor thesis); fuzzing (internship at Microsoft Research, Fuzzm) and automated testing (finding bugs in debuggers, master thesis). I enjoy both research and practice, finding out new things and making sure they are useful to others.


During my PhD, I applied several of the above topics to WebAssembly. I believe WebAssembly is well-suited for research due to its clean design and little accumulated cruft, while at the same time tremendously important in practice as a universal bytecode for the web and increasingly beyond. One of my research projects was the analysis of WebAssembly's binary security, that is, if and how memory vulnerabilities in source languages such as C can be exploited when compiled to a WebAssembly binary (USENIX Security 2020). During an internship at Google, I also looked into WebAssembly host security, that is, protecting the system from malicious WebAssembly binaries. In the internship, I implemented W^X in the WebAssembly compiler of V8. I am the main author of Wasabi, a dynamic analysis framework for WebAssembly (ASPLOS 2019, best paper award), for which I developed my own binary parser and static instrumenter. To aid reverse engineering of WebAssembly binaries, I employed neural networks for recovering high-level types from the low-level bytecode of functions. Together with Aaron Hilbig, we also collected WasmBench, large set of more than 8000 real-world WebAssembly binaries for analysis, as test inputs, and as training data for machine learning-based approaches.
