Binwalk is a firmware analysis tool and binary data carver used to identify and extract embedded files and data segments from binary images. It functions as an embedded file extractor and data entropy analyzer to retrieve fragments from binary blobs when original file system structures are missing. The tool employs signature-based pattern matching and linear byte-stream scanning to detect known byte sequences and isolate hidden files. It uses sliding-window entropy analysis to locate regions of a file that are compressed or encrypted. The system supports recursive file carving, utilizing heu
dnSpy is a specialized toolset for the reverse engineering, analysis, and modification of compiled .NET binaries. It functions as a decompiler that converts assemblies back into readable high-level source code, an assembly editor for modifying bytecode and metadata, and a debugger for inspecting compiled binaries. The project integrates a hex editor specifically for inspecting and modifying raw bytes and Common Intermediate Language structures. It allows for the direct modification of binary contents to change application behavior without requiring the original project source files. The tool
Capstone is a multi-architecture disassembly framework and binary translation system. It converts binary machine code into human-readable assembly instructions for a wide variety of hardware instruction set architectures and virtual machines. The framework supports a diverse range of targets, including x86, ARM, RISC-V, and MIPS, as well as virtual machine environments like WebAssembly and the Ethereum Virtual Machine. It functions as an instruction analysis tool capable of extracting granular decomposition data and semantic information from disassembled code. The engine is designed for low-
Plasma is an interactive disassembler for x86/ARM/MIPS. It can generates indented pseudo-code with colored syntax.
