Deobfuscating Android native binary code

In this paper, we propose an automated approach to facilitate the deobfuscation of Android native binary code. Specifically, given a native binary obfuscated by Obfuscator-LLVM (the most popular native code obfuscator), our deobfuscation system is capable of recovering the original Control Flow Graph. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first work that aims to tackle the problem. We have applied our system in different scenarios, and the experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our system based on generic similarity comparison metrics.
