License managers and validation routines are typically very small pieces of code, relative to the applications that contains them. However, to bypass software protections, static analysis is an inefficient method of locating code of interest. Traditional dynamic analysis suffers from lack of targeted snapshotting and tracing capabilities. This presentation debuts PointyStick, an application designed to allow targeted dynamic program tracing and memory snapshotting. PointyStick enables code regions of interest to be located rapidly, which can then be further analyzed.
