Abstract
Systems and methods of cyber hardening software by modifying one or more assembly source files. In some embodiments, the SME tool transparently and seamlessly integrates into the build process of the assembly source files being modified. For example, upon integration of the disclosed SME tool into the application's development environment, the modifications in the final executable are transparent to the developer and can support other cyber hardening techniques. In some embodiments, the integration of the SME tool into a build can be automated. Simplifying integration, through automated means, can be beneficial for widespread adoption of SME tools in cyberhardening software applications. Automated SME build integrations, e.g., removing manual methods and techniques, can help eliminate human errors and result in faster SME integrations, in comparison to manual integrations of a SME tool.
