Corpus Christi: Establishing Replicability when Sharing the Bread is Not Allowed

arXiv:2404.11977v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: In this paper, we provide practical tools to improve the scientific soundness of firmware corpora beyond the state of the art. We identify binary analysis challenges that significantly impact corpus creation. We use them to derive a framework of key corpus requirements that nurture the scientific goals of replicability and representativeness. We apply the framework to 44 top tier papers and collect 704 data points to show that there is currently no common ground on …
