plasma-disassembler / plasma

Plasma is an interactive disassembler for x86/ARM/MIPS. It can generates indented pseudo-code with colored syntax.

PLASMA

The old project name was Reverse.

PLASMA is an interactive disassembler. It can generate a more readable assembly (pseudo code) with colored syntax. You can write scripts with the available Python api (see an example below). The project is still in big development.

wiki : TODO list and some documentation.

It supports :

• architectures : x86{64}, ARM, MIPS{64} (partially for ARM and MIPS)
• formats : ELF, PE, RAW

Warning: until structures and type definitions are not implemented, the database compatibility could be broken.

Requirements

• python >= 3.4
• capstone, tested with 4.0-alpha5
• python-pyelftools
• pefile + python3-future
• python-msgpack >= 0.4.6
• c++filt (available in the binutils Linux package)
• terminal should support UTF8 and 256 colors (if not, use the option --nocolor)

Optional :

• python-qt4 used for the memory map
• keystone for the script asm.py

Installation

./install.sh

Or if you have already installed requirements with the previous command:

./install.sh --update

Check tests :

make

Pseudo-decompilation of functions

$ plasma -i tests/server.bin
>> v main
# you can press tab to show the pseudo decompilation
# | to split the window
# See the command help for all shortcuts

Take the control of the flow graph by inverting conditional jumps:

Scripting (Python API)

See more on the wiki for the API.

Some examples (these scripts are placed in plasma/scripts) :

$ plasma -i FILE
plasma> py !strings.py             # print all strings
plasma> py !xrefsto.py FUNCTION    # xdot call graph
plasma> py !crypto.py              # detect some crypto constants
plasma> py !asm.py CODE            # assemble with keystone
plasma> py !disasm.py HEX_STRING   # disassemble a buffer
