NOTE: This package includes prebuilt Windows core of Capstone, so no external
Capstone library is needed.
To compile from source, see PyPi package "capstone" instead.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capstone is a disassembly framework with the target of becoming the ultimate
disasm engine for binary analysis and reversing in the security community.
Created by Nguyen Anh Quynh, then developed and maintained by a small community,
Capstone offers some unparalleled features:
- Support multiple hardware architectures: ARM, ARM64 (ARMv8), Mips, PPC, Sparc,
SystemZ, XCore and X86 (including X86_64).
- Having clean/simple/lightweight/intuitive architecture-neutral API.
- Provide details on disassembled instruction (called decomposer by others).
- Provide semantics of the disassembled instruction, such as list of implicit
registers read & written.
- Implemented in pure C language, with lightweight wrappers for C++, C#, Go,
Java, NodeJS, Ocaml, Python, Ruby & Vala ready (available in main code,
or provided externally by the community).
- Native support for all popular platforms: Windows, Mac OSX, iOS, Android,
Linux, *BSD, Solaris, etc.
- Thread-safe by design.
- Special support for embedding into firmware or OS kernel.
- High performance & suitable for malware analysis (capable of handling various
X86 malware tricks).
- Distributed under the open source BSD license.
