About:
Modsurfer is a command-line tool for inspecting, validating, and auditing WebAssembly binaries. It allows developers to analyze module structure, verify imports and exports, and ensure compliance with WebAssembly standards. This helps identify potential issues and enhance security for Wasm-based applications.
Key Features:
  • Validate Wasm binary structure and specifications
  • Audit modules for security and compliance
  • Inspect imports, exports, and custom sections
  • Human-readable output and detailed diagnostics
Use Cases:
  • Debugging malformed Wasm binaries during build pipelines
  • Auditing third-party Wasm modules for security compliance
  • Verifying interface compatibility between host and module
Alternatives:
  • wasm-objdump – Part of WABT; provides low-level inspection but lacks Modsurfer's audit-focused features
  • wasm-validate – Basic validation tool; less comprehensive than Modsurfer's auditing capabilities
