Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for efficiently matching files may include (i) analyzing a file to identify a set of functions within the file and relationships between functions within the set of functions, (ii) creating a set of representations for the set of functions by, for each function, combining a representation of a size of the function with a representation of a size of each function identified, when analyzing the file, as having a relationship to the function, (iii) comparing the set of representations of the set of functions with a set of representations of an additional set of functions identified within an additional file, and (iv) determining, based on comparing the sets of representations, that the file matches the additional file. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
