# LoopHPCs: loop-centric HPCs profiling .


# Introduction
LoopHPCs is an loop-centric HPCs profiling framework.
In the framework, we profile the loop structure of a running program with the help of two hardware mechanisms: LBR and PEBs.
LoopHPCs is suitable to analysis the malware which has distinct hot loop at run-time. The current version of LoopHPCs focus on binary unpacking. In the future, we plan to extend it to analyze other types of malware, such as ransomware and cryptojacking.
