The lack of availability of source code makes identification a difficult task as existing techniques heavily rely on the source code. We propose two similarity measurement methods using the instruction log and the call-trace of each executable using Intel Pin tool. A Software Plagiarism Detector(SPD) was developed using the Intel Pin instrumentation tool and we have tested this approach on different small executable single-threaded and multi-threaded files. The results portray the validity of this method. We also talk about the possibility to expand this method for bigger software. © 2020 IEEE.executableinstrumentationsoftware piracysoftware plagiarismsoftware similarity
