Abstract
A fundamental motivation for developing dynamic binary modification systems, initially, was that they would provide a simple yet robust way to instrument and analyze the behavior and bottlenecks of guest programs. In fact, a variety of industrial products have been developed that use dynamic binary modification as the technological foundation. For instance, the Pin dynamic instrumentation system forms the base of a number of Intel products, including Parallel Inspector, Parallel Amplifier, which are parallel program analysis tools, and TraceCollector and SDE, which are simulation and emulation tools. In addition, DynamoRIO formed the foundation of the Determina Vulnerability Protection Suite, which is a set of security tools.
