patch-diff-analyzer

To analyze binary patches in Java JARs, the Skill decompiles unpatched and patched binaries using jadx, generates a structured git diff, and isolates security-relevant modifications. It tags versions in a dedicated workspace to produce patch-analysis.diff and changed-files.txt.

Yes, you can diff .NET DLLs to identify security fixes. The Skill decompiles both unpatched and patched .NET binaries using ilspycmd, generates a git diff, and inventories changed files to guide focused security reviews of validation and logic modifications.

The best way to find changes between binary release versions is decompiling both versions, tagging them as unpatched and patched, and running a diff analysis. This generates patch-analysis.diff and changed-files.txt to highlight security-relevant modifications.

Yes, you need git to generate diffs and specific decompilers depending on the binary format. Java JARs require jadx, while .NET DLLs require ilspycmd, jd-cli, cfr, or monodis to decompile binaries for patch analysis.

A binary patch diff analysis outputs patch-analysis.diff and changed-files.txt. These files inventory modifications between unpatched and patched binaries, guiding security engineers to isolate changes impacting file access, validation, and logic.

Decompilation is necessary for binary patch analysis because the source code is unavailable for compiled releases. By decompiling JARs and DLLs into readable code, the Skill can generate a structured git diff to locate security fixes.
