| 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 (aka ARMv8), Mips & X86. |
| |
| - 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++, Python, |
| Ruby, OCaml, C#, Java and Go available. |
| |
| - Native support for Windows & *nix platforms (MacOSX, Linux & *BSD confirmed). |
| |
| - Thread-safe by design. |
| |
| - Distributed under the open source BSD license. |
