Reversing on the Edge

Traversing the paths for using GraphDBs in RE

Event_large

GraphDBs are becoming the new hot thing for research in many fields, including infosec and reverse engineering. Graph theory research for reverse engineering is not new (*cough*Rolf and Halvar*cough*), but using one of the commodity GraphDBs available is a more recent tactic.

GraphDBs are a natural way to look at binaries and call flow graphs (see: IDA / BinNavi / etc.). They also offer the ability to scale massively or provide a central location for collaborative work. While many of the features of a GraphDB can be replicated in a traditional database doing so it is not as "natural" as using GraphDB in many cases. Potential applications of a graphdb-based system are taint tracking, binary diffing, collaborative RE, shared code detection, and more!

This talk will look at a subset of the currently available graph databases, existing projects that take advantage of their features, possible applications and a few PoCs to use them. The goal is to introduce the audience to the concept and spark ideas on how to take advantage of their feature-sets.
