SIMILARITY SEARCH OVER PROGRAM CODE SEQUENCES USING FEATURELESS PATTERN RECOGNITION TECHNIQUES
In this paper, we describe a problem of searching similar code sequences over binary executable program files. A proposed method is based on function opcode partitioning into functional groups, forming the function descriptions by comparing the executable code with the code of "base" library functions, and the dimensionality reduction of the resulting indirect description, which is used to run a search at the final step. We conducted an experimental study to show, that the proposed method is applicable for the problem solution, and to demonstrate its operability and efficiency.

Abstract
In this paper, we describe a problem of searching similar code sequences over binary executable program files. A proposed method is based on function opcode partitioning into functional groups, forming the function descriptions by comparing the executable code with the code of "base" library functions, and the dimensionality reduction of the resulting indirect description, which is used to run a search at the final step. We conducted an experimental study to show, that the proposed method is applicable for the problem solution, and to demonstrate its operability and efficiency.
