Abstract

The register realignment is a method of binary obfuscation and it is used by
malware writers. The paper introduces the method how register realignment can be
recognized by analysis based on the scattered context grammars. Such an analysis
includes exploration of bytes affected by realignment, finding new valid values
for them, building the scattered context grammar and parse an obfuscated code by
this grammar. The created grammar has LL property - an ability for parsing by
this type of grammar.
