It’s astonishing how nobody hasn’t mentioned abstract interpretation yet. Under classical static analysis, if you can “prove” that a variable does not have values in some unsound zones, you can e.g. “prove” soundness or apply further optimi

Another good replacement for capstone/keystone based on LLVM is nyxstone https://github.com/emproof-com/nyxstone

yeah I agree, and while everyone is suggesting tools which are really good but I designed mine to get rid of the flags and CLI interface. Good for tech people that keeps remembering flags, I'm not :(

Thanks! Immediate paradigm might be a little bit scary if you used to play with Qt, but looks easy to manage and it's really interactive

argh, that's too bad, feel free to open an issue, what's happening in the console? It's panicking, isn't it? Feel free to contact me via email if you prefer

Nice! My tool should be runnable in the browser thanks to wasm compatibility with Rust + egui :) Btw I've just tried it, and it's a little bit buggy in Safari with a 504kb PDF (lots of objects though). Apart from that, is there a

:D Well, I'm sure that half of reverse engineering community needs to thank you, and Zynamics for the important contribution for tools of static analysis. I just take the occasion to thank you for being an inspiration with such awesome

Thanks for the list, the idea behind my tool was to try to code something that might fit an analyst that would take a fast look at the PDF. I'm also trying to figure out some fast heuristics to mark/highlight some peculiar stuff o

I'd suggest you to code something along popular libraries for PDF manipulation. I've used pdf-rs for the tool.

Thanks, it seems a great product too :) Do you have any particular feature that you share that product for?

Neat, although some of them are actually helpful for specific articles. One thing that I actually seen as a pattern is over engineering the blog so much that features need maintenance.

Hi! I just wanted to post this project into HN and collect some feedbacks. Don't feel bad to just say "lol your approach won't work" because static analysis has always limits (e.g. obfuscated software) and many more. The
