Do Recovered Names Help? Evaluating Binary Function-Name Recovery for Vulnerability Triage

To appear in International Conference on Information Security Practice and Experience (ISPEC 2026), 2026

Evaluates whether function names recovered by state-of-the-art name-recovery systems actually help practitioners triage vulnerabilities in stripped, CVE-bearing binaries.

Reassessing Function-Name Recovery in Stripped Binaries: Preprocessing, Metrics, and Reproducibility

To appear in 33rd Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference (APSEC 2026), 2026

Re-examines how binary function-name recovery is evaluated, showing how preprocessing choices, metric definitions, and reproducibility gaps affect reported results.
