Google announced today the free διάθεση του δημοφιλούς plug-in analysisς patch BinDiff. Για όσους δεν γνωρίζουν η τιμή του εργαλείου έφτανε τα 200 δολάρια.
The tool is used by security engineers and helps them find useful ones information by analyzing patches and comparing binaries.
The free availability of the tool will definitely help the drop of the cost of malware analysis for independent researchers but also for security organizations that previously had to pay a license for business (much more expensive).
Software technician Christian Blichmann he says that Google is also using BinDiff to analyze malware.
"At Google, the BinDiff core engine is used to bulk malware, helping to protect both internal and external users," says Blichmann.
"BinDiff provides underlying comparisons of results from malware circulating around the world, and related families with billions of comparisons performed to date."
The first price of the BluDiff before Google acquired the Zynamics creator 2011 was at 1170 dollars for a single license.
The BinDiff tool allows researchers to:
- They compare binary files for x86, MIPS, ARM, PowerPC, and other architectures supported by IDA Pro.
- Identify identical and similar functions in different executables.
- Make Port function names, front and rear comments, template comments, and local names from one disassembly to the other.
- Detection of changes between two variations of the same operation.
You can download the latest version of BinDiff from her site zynamics
