Map raw memory into Pythonic C-like data structures for safe inspection and mutation.

Core Features & Use Cases

Define structs with Python type annotations and optional C parser support
Inflate, read, and write values from raw memory buffers
Follow pointers, arrays, enums, bitfields, and unions
Serialize to bytes, generate dictionaries, and produce hex dumps
Support memory inspection workflows including diff/reset/freeze

Quick Start

Create an inflater from a memory buffer and inflate your first struct at offset 0.

FAQPage Schema

How do I map raw memory into C structs for reverse engineering?▼

You can map raw binary memory into C structs by using a memory resolver to inflate buffers into Pythonic objects. This allows direct inspection and mutation of complex binary formats during reverse engineering workflows.

Can I parse C pointers, arrays, and unions directly from memory buffers?▼

Yes, parsing C pointers, arrays, enums, and unions directly from memory buffers is fully supported. The inflation mechanism follows memory-backed references to accurately map complex binary formats into Pythonic structures.

Do I need a memory resolver to inflate binary structures?▼

Yes, an underlying memory resolver is required to map raw bytes to structured objects. You must also define your structs using typing-based definitions for the inflater to correctly interpret the binary data.

How do I track memory mutations during binary debugging workflows?▼

You can track memory mutations during binary debugging using built-in snapshot features like freeze, diff, and reset. These allow you to capture memory states, compare structural changes, and restore previous conditions.

What is the best way to serialize inflated C structs back to bytes?▼

The best way to serialize inflated C structs back to bytes is using the built-in serialization features. This enables you to write mutated values directly into raw memory buffers or export structured data representations.
