Windows Operating System is widely used and it is dominant than other operating systems.Most of the commercial software developing companies provide a number of software mainly for Windows OS users.Furthermore, the number of software plagiarism cases and copyright infringement cases has increased.Therefore, software similarity analysis systems for Windows OS are highly useful for software plagiarism detection and copyright protection.However, mostly the software similarity analysis systems and techniques work on source codes, not executables, even though the majority of commercial software barely makes public its source codes.In this paper, we propose a novel scheme for software plagiarism detection for Windows executables.Our technique exploits both the extended basic block concept and the Linux command objdump.We measured the performance of proposed system through several kinds of experiments using various types of software including different versions of commercial software.
