Comparison Between Static and Dynamic Program Instrumentation

The difference between static and dynamic program instrumentation lies in when the analysis or measurement probes are inserted into a program. Static instrumentation occurs before the program is run and is more closely associated with proactive software evaluation. Dynamic instrumentation, on the other hand, inserts probes during program execution.

• Static vs Dynamic
• Software Evaluation
• Dynamic Analysis

1. EXERCISE #26 PROGRAM INSTRUMENTATION REVIEW Write your name and answer the following on a piece of paper What is the difference between static and dynamic program instrumentation? 1

2. ADMINISTRIVIA AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

3. STATIC INSTRUMENTATION EECS 677: Software Security Evaluation Drew Davidson

4. 4 WHERE WE RE AT EXPLORING PROGRAM INSTRUMENTATION An approach to dynamic analysis

11. 11 CUSTOM INSTRUMENTATION PROGRAM INSTRUMENTATION: APPROACH THE PREVIOUS EXAMPLETOOKADVANTAGEOFPRE-EXISTING INSTRUMENTATION What if we wanted to make our own custom instrumentation?

12. 12 CUSTOM INSTRUMENTATION PROGRAM INSTRUMENTATION: APPROACH GETTINGSTARTED 1) Reference the LLVM API 2) Build our own (trivial) analysis pass 3) Hook into the LLVM opt infrastructure 4) Run our analysis pass GOING FURTHER Insert more full-featured functionality (https://llvm.org/doxygen/classllvm_1_1IRBuilder.html)
