As If

The API calls reflect the functional levels of a program, analysis of the API calls would lead to an understanding of the behavior of the malware. Malware analysis environment has been widely used, but some malware already have the anti-virtual, anti-debugging and anti-tracking ability with the evolution of the malware. These analysis environments use a combination of API hooking and/or API virtualization, which are detectable by malware running at the same privilege level. In this work, we develop the fully automated platform to trace the native API calls based on secondary development of Xen and have obtained the most transparent and similar system to a Windows OS as possible in order to obtain an execution trace of a program as if it was run in an environment with no tracer present. In contrast to other approaches, the hardware-assisted nature of our approach implicitly avoids many shortcomings that arise from incomplete or inaccurate system emulation.

Analysis Of Performance

This chapter discusses how to adapt system execution traces to support analysis of software system performance properties, such as end-to-end response time, throughput, and service time. This is important because system execution traces contain complete snapshots of a systems execution—making them useful artifacts for analyzing software system performance properties. Unfortunately, if system execution traces do not contain the required properties, then analysis of performance properties is hard. In this chapter, the authors discuss: (1) what properties are required to analysis performance properties in a system execution trace; (2) different approaches for injecting the required properties into a system execution trace to support performance analysis; and (3) show, by example, the solution for one approach that does not require modifying the original source code of the system that produced the system execution.
