Capstone disassembly engine

Project description

NOTE: This package "capstone" includes source code of the core of Capstone.
So installing this would also compile the core with C compiler (either "gcc" or
"msvc" on Windows).

For Windows, if you do not want to compile the core, install package "capstone-win"
instead, which already has the prebuilt core inside.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
