  • zydis

    Fast and lightweight x86/x86-64 disassembler and code generation library

  • Start with a disassembler. Your first job is to parse out the binary format (ELF/PE/Mach-O) and get the raw bytes representing the machine code from the text section. You need to parse and decode them into actual instructions, and a disassembly framework like capstone or zydis or countless others can help interpret the bytes. At this point you now have a basic linear disassembly view (similar to objdump) of your compiled executable, and can continue to add features, like visualizing control flow, identifying functions, resolving strings and imports from the other sections, etc.
