FRIENDS Research Projects

Welcome to the FRIENDS research wiki. Basically, this is just a place for us to put up information about our past and present research projects. Older projects might not have a wiki page, so you may need to check the old pages at our old projects page for a complete list.

• NICKLE – Kernel rootkit prevention on unmodified operating systems using a virtual machine monitor.
• Process Coloring – Leveraging OS level information flows for intrusion detection.
• Data Structure Layout Randomization – Polymorphing Software By Randomizing Data Structure Layout.
• AutoFormat – Automatic Protocol Format Reverse Engineering Through Context-Aware Monitored Execution.
• REWARDS – Automatic Reverse Engineering of Data Structures from Binary Execution.
• LiveDM – Reliable Kernel Malware Defense using a Safe and Temporal View of Dynamic Kernel Memory.
