Title: Implement your own Dynamic Binary Analysis using the Valgrind Framework.

Abstract

Valgrind, an open-source project initiated by Julian Seward, is very popular amongst developers using unmanaged languages. The tools supplied range from a bit-precise memory checker to a cache simulator. These tools are instances of the Valgrind framework, a framework for Binary Dynamic Instrumentation.

In this talk we will discuss the architecture of the framework, the key services that are provided, and their implementation. Finally, we will see how a dynamic binary analysis tools can be created with a small amount of code using Valgrind.
