Extending SOOT to perform analysis and to visualize CFG along with data flow

The research presented in this thesis is based on Intra-procedural Data Flow Analysis using SOOT. SOOT is a Java optimization framework used for analyzing different Java and android applications. We extend the functionality of SOOT in order to generate output, which forms a Control Flow Graph (CFG) along with the flow of the variables, and we call this extension of SOOT as SOOTH. We use Live variable analysis along with Forward and Backward flow analysis to analyze the given java code. The CFG generated along with the data flow is visualized using the graphviz tool, which can be used to detect information leakage by knowing the flow of variables with the program
