  • Cross-architecture disassembly and decompilation
  • Intermediate Representation (BNIL) for architecture-agnostic analysis
  • Extensive Python API for automation and plugin development
  • Modern, user-friendly graphical user interface
Use Cases:
  • Malware analysis and threat research
  • Vulnerability discovery and exploit development
  • Software compatibility analysis and debugging
Alternatives:
