Title
Survey on network protocol reverse engineering approaches, methods and tools.
Abstract
A network protocol defines rules that control communications between two or more hosts on the Internet, whereas Protocol Reverse Engineering (PRE) defines the process of extracting the structure, attributes and data from a network protocol. Enough knowledge on protocol specifications is essential for security purposes, network policy implementation and management of network resources. Protocol Reverse Engineering is a complex process intended to uncover specifications of unknown protocols. The complexity of PRE, in terms of time consumption, tediousness and error-prone, has led to short and diverse outcomes of Protocols Reverse Engineering approaches. This paper, surveys outputs of 9 PRE approaches in three divisions with methodology analysis and its possible applications. Moreover, in the introductory part we provide a general PRE literature in great depth.
