DnD: A Cross-Architecture Deep Neural Network Decompiler

DND is a deep neural network (DNN) decompiler capable of reverse engineering DNN models from compiled binaries.

Environment

1. Create a Python virtual environment
2. pip install -r ./angr_env/requirements.txt
3. Move ./angr_env/base.py to overwrite the counterpart in the virtual environment claripy (usually in $USERNAME/.virtualenvs/$VIRTUALENVNAME/lib/python$VERSION/site-packages/claripy/ast/base.py)

Docker container

We provide a docker container. To use it, just run:

docker build . -t dnd
docker run -it dnd

Usage

• Run python decompiler.py <model_binary> <model_onnx> to decompile a binary sample (<model_binary>) and export it into an ONNX file (<model_onnx>).For instance:

python ./decompiler.py binary_samples/evkbimxrt1050_glow_lenet_mnist_release.axf onnx_models/mnist.onnx
python ./decompiler.py binary_samples/evkbimxrt1050_glow_cifar10.axf onnx_models/resnet.onnx

• Two samples are provided:
  ./binary_samples/evkbimxrt1050_glow_lenet_mnist_release.axf: a MNIST binary on NXP imrt1050-evk board
  ./binary_samples/evkbimxrt1050_glow_cifar10.axf: a Resnet binary on NXP imrt1050-evk board

• The folder onnx_models containes ONNX models exported by DND for the binaries in binary_samples.

• The folder patches showcases how to patch binaries implementing DNNs.

• Please check decompiler.py for more details.
