The ExecutionEngine decodes the bytecode and performs the actions necessary to implement each instruction. Its interface is quite simple, consisting of a single function that takes a Context as an ...

Abstract: An Ethereum bytecode rewriting and validation architecture is proposed and evaluated for securing smart contracts in decentralized cryptocurrency systems without access to contract source ...

A formal Java bytecode interpreter that models the JVM execution environment with precise tracking of states during bytecode execution. Designed for program verification, bytecode semantics analysis, ...

Attackers can hide their attempts to execute malicious code by inserting commands into the machine code stored in memory by the software interpreters used by many programming languages, such as ...

A new information stealer has been found leveraging Lua bytecode for added stealth and sophistication, findings from McAfee Labs reveal. The cybersecurity firm has assessed it to be a variant of a ...

The Stellar Development Foundation has joined the Bytecode Alliance, an industry group promoting the development of WebAssembly (Wasm), according to an Aug. 21 announcement from the foundation's ...

Abstract: Decompilation of Java bytecode is the act of transforming Java bytecode to Java source code. Although easier than that of decompilation of machine code, problems still arise in Java bytecode ...
