Abstract
A method includes receiving, at a processor, (1) machine-readable binary code to be executed at a target processor and (2) a machine-readable control flow pattern that includes one or more library function calls. The method also includes identifying, via the processor, an indication of an execution path in the machine-readable binary code based on the machine-readable control flow pattern. The method also includes transmitting, via the processor, a signal that indicates that the machine-readable binary code includes the one or more library function calls included in the machine-readable control flow pattern.
