Abstract
This paper presents the ANaConDA framework that allows one to easily create dynamic analysers for analysing multi-threaded C/C++ programs on the binary level. ANaConDA also supports noise injection techniques to increase chances to find concurrency-related errors in testing runs. ANaConDA is built on top of the Intel’s framework PIN for instrumenting binary code. ANaConDA can be instantiated for dealing with programs using various thread models. Currently, it has been instantiated for programs using the pthread library as well as the Win32 API for dealing with threads.
