Abstract :
Translation of machine code to intermediate representation is an essential part of a platform-independent obfuscator that deals with intermediate code. The paper discusses a method of assembly code analysis and its translation to three-address code. The focus is set on basic block splitting, alias analysis, value-sets analysis, and interprocedural analysis. The presented techniques are universal, and can be used apart from an obfuscator tool.
