SootTutorial

Minimal Setup to build an analysis using soot

Download Soot jars and source from

https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/soot-oss/soot/4.3.0/.

Export the CLASSPATH

export CLASSPATH=”.:<absolute path to soot-4.3.0-with-deps.jar>”

• Note also using the full jar name at the end, <path>/soot-4.3.0-with-deps.jar
• You can also create a softlink using ln -S <path_to_soot_jar> . and then do export CLASSPATH=”.:./soot-4.3.0-with-deps.jar”

Export jdk location as PATH

export PATH=<absolute path to jdk-11.0.21+9/bin>:$PATH

Compile all the java files

javac *.java

Run the Analysis file

java Analysis

If you wish to just use soot from commandline

• export the classpath as suggested earlier and then run java soot.Main -pp -cp . -f jimple Test.
• The command tries to generate jimple files for the Test.class file in sootOutput directory.
• cat ./sootOutput/Test.jimple to view file
