<-- Abstract -->
Information about string values at key points in a program
can help program understanding, reverse engineering, and
forensics. We present a static-analysis technique for recovering
possible string values in an executable program, when
no debug information or source code is available. The result
of our analysis is a regular language that describes a superset
of the string values possible at a given program point.
We also impart some of the lessons learned in the process of
implementing our analysis as a tool for recovering C-style
strings in x86 executables.
