As recent as a couple of years ago, reverse engineers can get by with just knowledge of C and assembly to reverse most applications. Now, due to the increasing use of C++ in malware as well as most moderns applications being written in C++, understanding the disassembly of C++ object oriented code is a must. This talk will attempt to fill that gap by discussing methods of manually identifying C++ concepts in the disassembly, how to automate the analysis, and tools we developed to enhance the disassembly based on the analysis done.
Paul Vincent Sabanal is a researcher with the IBM Internet Security Systems X-Force research team. Prior to joining IBM, Paul worked as an antivirus researcher at Trend Micro. Paul has spent most of his career doing malware reverse engineering, and has recently been delving into vulnerability research as well.
