Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Prerequisites

Install the necessary dependencies before running the project:

Notes

These notes might save you some time:

Changes to the configs.json structure need to be reflected in the configs.py script.
PyTorch Geometric has several dependencies that need to match, including PyTorch. Follow the installation steps on their website.
Joern processing might be slow and even freeze your OS, that depends on your system's specifications. Choose a smaller size for the chunks that are processed when splitting the dataset during the Create task. That can be done by changing the "slice_size" value under "create" in the configurations file configs.json
In the "slice_size" file, the nodes are filtered and discarded if the size is greater than the limit configured.
When changing the number of nodes considered for processing, "nodes_dim" under "embed" needs to match "in_channels", under "devign" -> "model" -> "conv_args" -> "conv1d_1".
The embedding size is equal to Word2Vec vector size plus 1.
When executing the Create task, a directory named joern is created and deleted automatically under 'project'\data\.
The dataset split for modeling during Process task is done under src/data/datamanger.py. The sets are balanced and the train/val/test ratio are 0.8/0.1/0.1 respectively.
The script graph-for-funcs.sc queries the CPG graphs from Joern. That script has a minor change to make it possible to track the files to the CPGs generated. The last time was failing because dependencies in Joern changed and needed the updated version. I assume you can find it in their latest version. I suggested you look at issue #3. Those CPGs are saved in a JSON file, check function "joern_create" line 48, it prints the CPG created in Joern to a JSON file ... .toString() |> "{json_out}", and that file is processed by the function "json_process". Both those functions are in the file devign/src/prepare/cpg_generator.py. If you have troubles creating the CPG JSON file with Joern, I advise you to do what you are trying manually in Joern. Create a new project pointing to the dataset folder containing all the files and query the CPG with the graph-for-funcs.sc script that's built-in, then export it to a file with .toString() |>. Joern commands are quite easy to understand and they have good support on Gitter. As well, follow the commit to understand the changes I've previously made.
Tested on Ubuntu 18.04/19.04

Setup

For now this project is not pip installable. With the proper use cases will be implemented.

This section gives the steps, explanations and examples for getting the project running.

1) Clone this repo

$ git clone https://github.com/epicosy/devign/devign.git

2) Install Prerequisites

3) Configure the project

Verify you have the correct directory structure by matching with the "paths" in the configurations file configs.json. The dataset related files that are generated are saved under those paths.

4) Joern

This step is only necessary for the Create task. Follow the instructions on Joern's documentation page and install Joern's command line tools under 'project'\joern\joern-cli\ .

##Usage

Dataset

The dataset used is the partial dataset released by the authors. The dataset is handled with Pandas and the file src/data/datamanger.py contains wrapper functions for the most essential operations.

A small sample of 994 entries from the original dataset is available for testing purposes. The sample dataset contains functions from the FFmpeg project with a maximum of 287 nodes per function. For each task, the necessary dataset files are available under the respective folders.

For example, under data/cpg are available the datasets with the graphs constituting the CPG for the functions.

Baseline "main.py"

The script main.py contains functions that put together the modules into executable tasks for the baseline approach. It can be used as example to elaborate custom functionalities.

The basic baseline transforms the dataset to the input for the model, proceeding with it's training and evaluation. The tasks that compose it are Create, Embed and Process.

$ python main.py -c -e -p.

For each task, verify that the correct files are in the respective folders. For example, executing the Process task requires the input datasets that contain the embedded graphs with the associated labels.

Create Task

This is the first task where the dataset is filtered (optionally) and augmented with a column that contains the respective Code Property Graph (CPG).

Functions in the dataset are written to files into a target directory which Joern is queried with for creating the CPG. After the CPG creation, Joern is queried with the script "graph-for-funcs.sc" which creates the graphs from the CPG. Those are returned in JSON format, containing all the functions with the respective AST, CFG and PDG graphs.

Execute with:

$ python main.py -c

Filtering the dataset can be done with data.apply_filter(raw: pandas.Dataframe, select: callable) under create_task function.

Embed Task

This task transforms the source code functions into tokens which are used to generate and train the word2vec model for the initial embeddings. The nodes embeddings are done as explained in the paper, for now just for the AST:

Execute with:

$ python main.py -e

Tokenization example

Source code:

'static void v4l2_free_buffer(void *opaque, uint8_t *unused)
{

    V4L2Buffer* avbuf = opaque;

    V4L2m2mContext *s = buf_to_m2mctx(avbuf);



    if (atomic_fetch_sub(&avbuf->context_refcount, 1) == 1) {

        atomic_fetch_sub_explicit(&s->refcount, 1, memory_order_acq_rel);



        if (s->reinit) {

            if (!atomic_load(&s->refcount))

              sem_post(&s->refsync);

        } else if (avbuf->context->streamon)

            ff_v4l2_buffer_enqueue(avbuf);



        av_buffer_unref(&avbuf->context_ref);

    }

}

Process Task

In this task the previous transformed dataset is split into train, validation and test sets which are used to train an evaluate the model. The accuracy from training output is softmax accuracy.

Execute with:

$ python main.py -p

Enable EarlyStopping for training with:

$ python main.py -pS
