Abstract

Nowadays, the process of analyzing malicious software is an important part of information technologies. One of the crucial techniques is decompilation of malicious binary programs. The decompilation is a complex process, and there are multiple projects with such a goal. The project RetDec aims to develop retargetable and flexible decompiler. The goal of this research is to improve the decompilation of advanced instruction sets for architecture x86. The new optimization for FPU register stack manipulation is designed, and the support of FPU and SSE instruction set translation is extended. The new extensions are implemented and tested in the manner of decompilation efficiency and quality.
