AI Summary: Vivisect is a versatile framework that integrates disassembly, static analysis, symbolic execution, and debugging capabilities, designed for use in cybersecurity tasks. Its primary use case is to facilitate in-depth analysis of binary executables, assisting researchers and security professionals in vulnerability discovery and exploitation analysis. Notable features include Python 3 compatibility, a graphical user interface, and seamless integration with documentation for enhanced usability.

README

Vivisect / Vdb / Vtrace

A combined disassembler/static analysis/symbolic execution/debugger framework.

Usage

Please see the quickstart/usage docs over at our docs page

Installing

For most use cases, you should just be able to run pip install "vivisect[gui]" to get both the vivisect/vdb libraries and UI components. For other use cases, please see our documentation.

Versioning

All releases prior to v1.0.0 are python2 only. As of v1.0.0, vivisect/vdb/vstruct are all python3 compatible. Please report any bugs/issues to the issue tracker or hit us up in the #vivisect room in the synapse slack

Please see v0.x.x-support branch for the current python2 version, or pip install the v.0.2.x version of vivisect.

Upgrading

Due to fun pickle shenanigans, old python2 vivisect workspaces are not typically compatible with python3. In what will be one of (if not, the) final release of the python2 compatible vivisect, v0.2.1 will include a conversion script that can migrate the basicfile-based vivisect workspaces files to the msgpack-back ones, which should be loadable in python3 vivisect.
