Dynamic instrumentation

Use this skill when analysis depends on observing or modifying a running program.

Topic routing

• Instrumentation foundations for DBI frameworks, compile-time probes, and runtime tracing.
• Analysis applications for profiling, syscall monitoring, eBPF, and dynamic taint.
• Integration and resources for fuzzing, debugger integration, design guidance, and upstream projects.

Choose the least invasive mechanism that exposes the needed evidence, and account for runtime overhead and observer effects. Use static-analysis when execution is unnecessary and binary-lifting when translation into IR is the central problem.
