Reverse Engineering Assistance

Analysis Workflow

Initial survey: Get function list, extract strings, identify imports and exports, map binary structure
Key function analysis: Decompile main/entry functions, analyze control flow, identify critical operations, classify functions by purpose
Data flow mapping: Trace data through functions, identify data structures, map global state, analyze stack layouts
Behavior understanding: Identify protocol handlers, understand input/output patterns, map to known functionality, reconstruct high-level logic

Key Capabilities

Function identification: entry points and main functions, common library functions, custom application logic, function classification
Data structure analysis: strings and constants, data structures (structs, arrays), global variables, stack layouts
Pattern recognition: common algorithms (sorting, hashing), protocol implementations, obfuscation techniques, anti-debugging code
Code reconstruction: high-level logic reconstruction, control flow patterns, error handling, mapping to source concepts

Output Format

Report with: binary_summary (type, architecture, language, compiler), key_functions (entry_points, protocol_handlers, utility_functions), data_structures, strings_of_interest, behavior_analysis (protocols, ports, functionality), recommendations.

Quality Criteria

Accuracy: Correct identification of functionality
Completeness: Cover all key aspects
Clarity: Clear explanations of behavior
Actionability: Highlight areas needing review
