Saving Throw

Saving Throw: Automated Static Binary Analysis

Customer Challenges

Is your mission-critical software vulnerable to hidden threats? Security analysts often struggle with:

Invisible Zero-Days

Vulnerabilities in compiled code that traditional tools miss

Supply Chain Risk

Securing “black-box” binaries without access to original source code

Manual Bottlenecks

The speed of traditional analysis methods fail to keep pace with evolving adversaries

Saving Throw automates binary analysis to identify and help remediate elusive vulnerabilities at mission speed.

Saving Throw is an automated static binary analysis tool designed to identify hidden zero-day vulnerabilities within compiled code. By leveraging the NSA’s Ghidra reverse-engineering framework and the Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) system, it provides deep visibility into “black-box” software where source code is unavailable. Saving Throw enables mission-speed security by automating complex binary analysis, ensuring that federal and commercial software remains resilient against advanced adversarial threats and supply chain risks.

How Does Saving Throw Work?

Features and Benefits

The Dark Wolf Difference​

Unlike similar COTS software products, Saving Throw is a low-cost, easy-to-use, and highly effective defensive tool that leverages industry-accepted standards for superior vulnerability identification. This is demonstrated by its use of the NSA’s Ghidra framework to quickly find potential vulnerabilities based on Common Weakness Enumerations (CWEs), ensuring a trustworthy and standardized analysis.

Customer Successes

Dark Wolf provides security research services to identify zero-day vulnerabilities across a variety of technologies, including major OS desktop platforms, embedded and IoT systems, mobile devices, COTS products, and more. We used Saving Throw to find a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability that we disclosed to D-Link with a 9.8 severity rating that would have allowed remote adversaries to establish a Telnet session for remote access.
