binutils-wasm

This project is divided into several components:

• A WebAssembly version of GNU Binutils, available as an NPM package for use in Node.js or browser environments. (See gas and binutils)
• A command-line tool based on the aforementioned package, providing a variety of platform-specific Binutils for use on any device that supports Node.js (work in progress).
• A static web page built on the aforementioned package that offers assembly and disassembly for multiple architectures, accessible directly through a web browser. (This README is about this component)

Introduction

This is a highly efficient, purely static website that offers assembly and disassembly for a variety of architectures. The site is built using Mantine and Vite.

Features

• Assembly and disassembly for multiple architectures
• Exceptionally fast execution speed, nearly real-time
• No server-side code, eliminating any potential security concerns
• Parallels the asm and disasm functions in PwnTools

Usage

To use it, simply visit the website hosted on Vercel.

Building for Offline Use

To build for offline use, clone the repository and run the following commands. Note that this process assumes you are operating on a Unix-like system and have Docker installed (to build the WebAssembly binary).

# in the root directory of the repository
pnpm install
# This process will take about 1-2 hours
pnpm build

Once the build process is complete, the static files can be found in the ./frontend/dist directory.
