Abstract

We relate an original experience concerning a popular online video service that offers to generate variants of an humorous video. To further the understanding of the generator, we have reverse engineered its general behavior, architecture, as well as its variation points and its configuration space. The reverse engineering also allows us to create a new generator and online configurator that proposes 18 variation points -- instead of only 3 as in the original generator. We explain why and how we have collaborated and are collaborating with the original creators of the video generator. We also highlight how our reverse engineering work represents a threat to the original service and call for further investigating variability-aware security mechanisms.

在线视频发生器的变异性秘密研究
我们讲述了一个关于一个流行的在线视频服务的原始经验,该服务提供了一个幽默视频的变体。为了进一步了解生成器,我们对其一般行为、体系结构以及其变异点和配置空间进行了逆向工程。逆向工程还允许我们创建一个新的生成器和在线配置器,它提出了18个变化点,而不是像原始生成器那样只有3个。我们解释了为什么以及如何与视频生成器的原始创建者合作。我们还强调了我们的逆向工程工作如何对原始服务构成威胁,并呼吁进一步研究可变性感知安全机制。
