Abstract

This paper examines the structural features of callgraphs. The sample consisted of 120 malicious and 280 non-malicious executables. Pareto models were fitted to indegree, outdegree and basic block count distribution, and a statistically significant difference shown for the derived power law exponent. A two-step optimization process involving human designers and code compilers is proposed to account for these structural features of executables.
