Binary rewriting is changing the semantics of a program without having the source code at
hand. It is used for diverse purposes, such as emulation (eg, QEMU), optimization (eg …

Valgrind is a programmable framework for creating program supervision tools such as bug
detectors and profilers. It executes supervised programs using dynamic binary translation …

This thesis addresses the challenges of building a software system for general-purpose
runtime code manipulation. Modern applications, with dynamically-loaded modules and …

Dynamic binary analysis (DBA) tools such as profilers and checkers help programmers
create better software. Dynamic binary instrumentation (DBI) frameworks make it easy to …

Process virtualization provides a virtual execution environment within which an unmodified
application can be monitored and controlled while it executes. The provided layer of control …

Software dynamic translation (SDT) is a technology that permits the modification of an
