Abstract:
A system and method for automatically analyzing virtual machine bytecode of a software application and adding additional bytecode operable to determine information regarding network communication performed by the software application are described. According to one embodiment of the method, program code of a software application may be received, wherein the program code includes bytecode for a virtual machine. The bytecode may be automatically analyzed to detect network communication functionality. The method may operate to automatically add additional bytecode to the bytecode of the software application, where the added bytecode is operable to determine information regarding the network communication.
