NAME

Capstone - Perl extension for capstone-engine

SYNOPSIS

use Capstone ':all';

$cs = Capstone->new(CS_ARCH_X86, CS_MODE_64) || die "Can't init Capstone\n";
@insn = $cs->dis("\x4c\x8d\x25\xee\xa6\x20\x00\x90\xcd\x80", 0x040000a, 0);

foreach(@insn) {
  printf "0x%.16x    %s %s\n", $_->{address}, $_->{mnemonic}, $_->{op_str};
}

DESCRIPTION

This module is a Perl wrapper of the capstone-engine library.

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 \u201cdecomposer\u201d 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, Lua, NodeJS, Ocaml, Python, Ruby, Rust & 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.
