Annotation: The paper analyzes the syntactic and semantic characteristics used to identify the similarity of binary code fragments, presents the results of analysis on the effectiveness of decompilation techniques and methods for syntactic similarity detection in the context of code clone detection task. Method for searching the code clones is proposed, which includes analyzing both semantic and syntactic features of the binary code snippets. The results of a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of the proposed method are presented
