Reverse is a reverse engineering tool used to disassemble binaries. It can generate a more readable code (pseudo-C) with colored syntax. An interactive mode is still in development.

It supports :

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

The Makefile is used only for checking tests.

• python >= 3.4
• capstone
• python-pyelftools
• pefile
• python-msgpack
• terminal with 256 colors (if not, use the option --nocolor)

You can run requirements.sh which will retrieve all requirements.

Here the option -x main is optional because the binary contains the symbol main.

$ ./reverse.py tests/server.bin

More commands are available in this mode (da, db, ...). See help for a full list.

TODO :

• add commands : setbe/setle (endianness of raw files), rawbase
• load raw file if the file given from the shell is raw

From the interactive mode, use the command v to enter in the visual mode. This mode requires ncurses. Use tab to switch between dump/decompilation.

It supports :

• definition of code/functions
• inline comments
• xrefs
• symbols renaming

TODO :

• reload automatically if the analyzer has modified the content
• multi-lines comments
• create data/arrays
• stack variables
• structure, enum
• improve analyzer performances
• ...

FIXME :

• clean PE imports
• xrefs with eip/rip + disp
• re-run analyzer on the current function after definition of a jmptable + delete wrong labels
• jmp FUNCTION -> don't continue to decompile

Switch statements which require a jump-table are not detected automatically. So we need to tell it which jump-table to use.

$ ./reverse.py -i tests/others/switch.bin
>> x
...
>> jmptable 0x400526 0x400620 11 8 
# A jump-table at 0x400620 is set with 11 entries, an address is on 8 bytes.
>> x
# Decompilation with switch

For every int 0x80, the tool try to detect syscalls with parameters.

$ ./reverse.py --raw x86 tests/shellcode.bin
function 0x0 {
    0x0: eax = 0 # xor eax, eax
    0x2: al = '\x0b' # mov al, 0xb
    0x4: cdq
    0x5: push edx
    0x6: push 1752379246 "n/sh"
    0xb: push 1768042287 "//bi"
    0x10: ebx = esp # mov ebx, esp
    0x12: push edx
    0x13: push ebx
    0x14: ecx = esp # mov ecx, esp
    0x16: int 128 ; execve(ebx, ecx, edx) # int 0x80
}
