博客來The goal of the research presented was to find a way to effectively identify text data and instructions in a machine language program written for Intel’s 80 x 86 architecture and Microsoft’s Disk Operating System (MS-DOS) following the command (.com) file format. A review of disassembler technology suggested that a pattern matching technique could be an effective technique for identifying text data in a machine language file. A series of tests were conducted to determine the effectiveness of a pattern matching technique. Results from the tests suggest that using a pattern matching technique is effective at identifying text data in a binary machine language file. The pattern matching algorithm presented in this research was eighty-six percent effective at identifying text data in fifteen test machine language files written for MS-DOS following the .com format.
