• Title: Shellcode_IA32: A Dataset for Automatic Shellcode Generation
• Authors: Pietro Liguori, Erfan Al-Hossami, Domenico Cotroneo, Roberto Natella, Bojan Cukic and Samira Shaikh
• Abstract summary: We take the first step to address the task of automatically generating shellcodes, i.e., small pieces of code used as a payload in the exploitation of a software vulnerability. We assemble and release a novel dataset (Shellcode_IA32), consisting of challenging but common assembly instructions with their natural language descriptions.

• Abstract: We take the first step to address the task of automatically generating shellcodes, i.e., small pieces of code used as a payload in the exploitation of a software vulnerability, starting from natural language comments. We assemble and release a novel dataset (Shellcode_IA32), consisting of challenging but common assembly instructions with their natural language descriptions. We experiment with standard methods in neural machine translation (NMT) to establish baseline performance levels on this task.

  We present NoviCode, a novel NL Programming task which takes as input an API and a natural language description by a novice non-programmer. We show that NoviCode is indeed a challenging task in the code synthesis domain, and that generating complex code from non-technical instructions goes beyond the current Text-to-Code paradigm.

  Large language models have demonstrated exceptional capability in natural language understanding and generation. However, their generation speed is limited by the inherently sequential nature of their decoding process. This paper introduces Lexical Unit Decoding, a novel decoding methodology implemented in a data-driven manner.

  We introduce CodecLM, a framework for adaptively generating high-quality synthetic data for instruction-following abilities. We first encode seed instructions into metadata, which are concise keywords generated on-the-fly to capture the target instruction distribution. We also introduce Self-Rubrics and Contrastive Filtering during decoding to tailor data-efficient samples.

  Learned transpilation offers an alternative to manual re-writing and engineering efforts. Probabilistic neural language models (LMs) produce plausible outputs for every input, but do so at the cost of guaranteed correctness. Guess & Sketch extracts alignment and confidence information from features of the LM then passes it to a symbolic solver to resolve semantic equivalence.

  In this work, we introduce a novel and more realistic setup for this task. We hypothesize that the under-specification of a natural language description can be resolved by asking clarification questions. We collect and introduce a new dataset named CodeClarQA containing pairs of natural language descriptions and code with created synthetic clarification questions and answers.

• Can We Generate Shellcodes via Natural Language? An Empirical Study [4.82810058837951]
  We propose an approach based on Neural Machine Translation to automatically generate shellcodes. Shellcode_IA32 consists of 3,200 assembly code snippets of real Linux/x86 shellcodes annotated using natural language. We show that NMT can generate assembly code snippets from the natural language with high accuracy and that in many cases can generate entire shellcodes with no errors.

We show that these models perform comparably to models trained on ground truth for reasonable levels of noise.
