| Nguyen Anh Quynh | 26ee41a | 2013-11-27 12:11:31 +0800 | [diff] [blame^] | 1 | Capstone is a disassembly framework with the target of becoming the ultimate |
| 2 | disasm engine for binary analysis and reversing in the security community. |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Created by Nguyen Anh Quynh, then developed and maintained by a small community, |
| 5 | Capstone offers some unparalleled features: |
| 6 | |
| 7 | - Support multiple hardware architectures: ARM, ARM64 (aka ARMv8), Mips & X86. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | - Having clean/simple/lightweight/intuitive architecture-neutral API. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | - Provide details on disassembled instruction (called “decomposer” by others). |
| 12 | |
| 13 | - Provide semantics of the disassembled instruction, such as list of implicit |
| 14 | registers read & written. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | - Implemented in pure C language, with lightweight wrappers for C++, Python, |
| 17 | Ruby, OCaml, C#, Java and Go available. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | - Native support for Windows, MacOSX & Linux platforms. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | - Thread-safe by design. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | - Distributed under the open source BSD license. |
