Michelle Cheatham\, Advisor\, John Gallagher\, and Mateen RizkiABSTRACT:Software reverse engineering (SRE) is a broad fi eld with motivations ranging from verifying or documenting gordian source code files to understanding and reimplementing binary object files and exe cutables. SRE of binaries is exceptionally compelling and challenging due to large amounts of information that can be lost in the compilation progre ss. A central area in SRE is type inference. Type inference is built aroun d a fundamental step in understanding the behavior of a binary\, recoverin g the types of data in the program. Type inference has many unique techniq ues in both static and dynamic type inference systems that have been imple mented in more than forty approaches.The problem has been noted in literat ure that evaluation and testing is difficult in software reverse engineeri ng due to various challenges like closed-source tools\, commercial fees\, inconstancy of data being tested\; a 2016 survey noted many of these tools cannot be compared against each other\, or introduce techniques that woul d be beneficial to evaluate in other situations. This survey noted the nee d for additional work to focus more on specific techniques in the hopes of generating better environments to test approaches in\, or compare against \, even if there is no access to the tool.This lightweight configurable ap proach evaluates the well-known techniques of flow-sensitive\, context-sen sitive\, type inference based on instructions and type propagation\, howev er\, it works to isolate these techniques and compares how they changed wi th additional information. With this in mind\, all the indicators are conf igurable as means to help engineers who are interested in evaluating the e ffectiveness of an indicator within a configuration or technique.
