Comparison of our work and the existing work
| Existing work | Our work | [20] | [21] | [22] |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Perspective | Focus on the entire process of industrial control protocol reverse engineering | Focus on data sources and reverse engineering results of network communication protocols | Summary of Reverse Engineering Tools, without focusing on a specific protocol type or aspect | Mainly focus on network protocols including text protocols and binary protocols |
| Classification | Classification based on the protocol reversing steps | Classification according to whether the reverse engineering output includes protocol format, protocol state machine, or both. | Classification based on whether the approach focuses on inferring the protocol semantics or the protocol finite state machine. | Classification based on whether the data source is network traffic or program logic |
| Coverage | Before 2025 | Before 2018 | Before 2015 | Before 2020 |
