Social security

Documentation and collaboration are critical elements for malware analysis, however current tool support falls short of enabling a means for these activities in a low level domain. An initial survey not only confirms how important these elements are, but also the ways in which they are not currently supported. We have built a prototype that provides collaborative documentation through comments over shared comprehension artifacts. A preliminary evaluation, through interviews with users, shows how this approach holds promise and provides many avenues for a more social approach to reverse engineering even within this low level, hostile domain.
