Abstract
Described are techniques for application hardening. The techniques include generating application traces using fuzzing for an application with a known security vulnerability, where the application traces include good traces that do not result in exploitation of the known security vulnerability and bad traces that result in exploitation of the known security vulnerability. The techniques further include identifying code segments that are executed by the bad traces and not executed by the good traces. The techniques further include modifying the identified code segments using binary rewriting.
