2009 International Conference on Computational Science and Engineering
Code Obfuscation Using Pseudo-random Number Generators
Vancouver, Canada
August 29-August 31
ISBN: 978-0-7695-3823-5
We describe a novel method for malicious code obfuscationthat uses code already present in systems: a pseudo-randomnumber generator. This can also be seen as an anti-disassemblyand anti-debugging technique, depending on deployment, becausethe actual code does not exist until run - it is generateddynamically by the pseudo-random number generator.A year's worth of experiments are used to demonstrate thatthis technique is a viable code obfuscation option for amalicious adversary with access to large amounts of computingpower.
