What problem does it solve?
Binary lifting turns opaque machine code into an intermediate representation you can analyze, transform, and recompile, reducing the effort needed for reverse engineering and vulnerability research.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Instruction semantics translation: Model instruction behavior in a higher-level IR (e.g., mapping x86/ARM operations into LLVM IR while tracking flags and side effects).
- Control-flow recovery: Reconstruct function boundaries and branching behavior using techniques like recursive descent, speculative disassembly, and handling indirect jumps.
- Deobfuscation and recompilation: Lift obfuscated code, run simplification/optimization passes, recover VM handler logic, and re-emit cleaned logic for further study.
- Triton-assisted lifting: Use symbolic execution to extract AST/register semantics that can then be translated into IR for downstream analysis.
Real-world use case: you have an obfuscated x86-64 sample and need to convert it into LLVM IR to identify the original logic, simplify the control/data flow, and guide a safe deobfuscation or patch.
Quick Start
Ask the AI to lift an x86-64 binary into LLVM IR by proposing a pipeline covering disassembly, function recovery, indirect jump resolution, and IR generation with correctness-minded flag/memory modeling.
