Abstract
An automated and processor agnostic method is described for modifying one or more executable binary files to insert one or more new software segments to modify the execution of the one or more executable binary files in at least certain circumstances. The modification takes into account the target microprocessor architecture of the one or more executable binary files which can be in the ELF format. In one embodiment, the new software segments are configured to add at least monitoring capabilities to monitor control flow integrity during execution of the one or more executable binary files.
