Asia's surging interest in binary analysis

BINARY CODE ANALYSIS (binary analysis, for short) is a vital security approach for protecting commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software and understanding malware, where there is no source code available. From the perspective of computer security, it is imperative to analyze binary code, as source-level scrutiny does not always reveal lurking software bugs due to compiler or interpreter misbehavior.Since the late 1990s, there has been significant research interest worldwide on binary analysis.
