See use cases

Architectures

It is written in such a way that it is easy to add support for new architectures. For now, the following architectures are in:

• Intel Ia32 (16 and 32bits)
• Intel core/X86_64.txt (aka Ia32 64bits, X64, AMD64)
• MIPS
• PowerPC
• Sh4

The developpement is generally more focused on Ia32 and X86_64.

File formats

The following executable file formats are supported:

• core/Shellcode.txt (raw binary)
• core/PE.txt/core/COFF.txt (32/64bits)
• core/ELF.txt (32/64bits)

Those are supported in a more limited way:

• Mach-O, UniversalBinary
• MZ
• A.out
• XCoff
• NDS

Features

The framework includes

• a graphical usage/disassembler.txt
• a graphical debugger
• low and high-level debugging support (Ia32 only for now) under Windows, Linux and remote (via a GdbServer)
• an advanced disassembler engine, with limited emulation support
• a full usage/C_parser.txt (with preprocessor)
• an experimental usage/C_compiler.txt (Ia32 only)
• an experimental usage/decompiler.txt (Ia32 only)
