But it was difficult to know whether it was decoded successfully during automated firmware analysis. To solve this problem, a firmware decoding status detection method was proposed based on classification and regression tree algorithm. The dataset contained 6 160 firmware samples and 1 823 disassembled binary files that were collected from firmware decoding. The experiments conducted on the dataset demonstrated that the proposed method had a considerable performance comparing with other classifiers, whose precision and recall rate are both above 96%. %U https://journal.bupt.edu.cn/EN/10.13190/j.jbupt.2017.s.022
