Project description

iced-x86 disassembler Python bindings pypi Python License

iced-x86 is a blazing fast and correct x86 (16/32/64-bit) disassembler for Python.

  • 👍 Supports all Intel and AMD instructions
  • 👍 Correct: All instructions are tested and iced has been tested against other disassemblers/assemblers (xed, gas, objdump, masm, dumpbin, nasm, ndisasm) and fuzzed
  • 👍 The formatter supports masm, nasm, gas (AT&T), Intel (XED) and there are many options to customize the output
  • 👍 The encoder can be used to re-encode decoded instructions at any address
  • 👍 API to get instruction info, eg. read/written registers, memory and rflags bits; CPUID feature flag, control flow info, etc
  • 👍 Rust + Python
  • 👍 License: MIT

Installing iced-x86

It's on PyPI with built wheels for Windows, macOS and Linux so this command should work (use python or py if on Windows):

python3 -m pip install -U iced-x86

If pip tries to build it from source and fails, see below for all required build tools (eg. python3 -m pip install setuptools wheel setuptools-rust and Rust https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install).

Building the code

If on Windows, replace python3 in all commands with python or py.

Prerequisites:

# Create the wheel
python3 setup.py bdist_wheel
# Install the built wheel
python3 -m pip install iced-x86 --no-index -f dist --only-binary iced-x86
# Uninstall your built copy
python3 -m pip uninstall iced-x86

Prerequisites (tests/docs):

  • python3 -m pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

Tests:

python3 setup.py bdist_wheel
python3 -m pip install iced-x86 --no-index -f dist --only-binary iced-x86
python3 -m pytest
python3 -m pip uninstall -y iced-x86

Docs:

# Need the built module in build/lib/
python3 setup.py bdist_wheel
# Build the docs
python3 -m sphinx --color -n -W --keep-going -b html docs docs/_build
# Test the doc examples
python3 -m sphinx --color -n -W --keep-going -b doctest docs docs/_build

How-tos

Disassemble (decode and format instructions)

This example uses a Decoder and one of the Formatters to decode and format the code. The last part shows how to use format specifiers to format instructions.

from iced_x86 import *

# This example produces the following output:
# 00007FFAC46ACDA4 48895C2410           mov       [rsp+10h],rbx
# 00007FFAC46ACDA9 4889742418           mov       [rsp+18h],rsi

# 00007FFAC46ACDB0 4156                 push      r14
# 00007FFAC46ACDB2 488DAC2400FFFFFF     lea       rbp,[rsp-100h]
# 00007FFAC46ACDBA 4881EC00020000       sub       rsp,200h
# 00007FFAC46ACDC1 488B0518570A00       mov       rax,[rel 7FFA`C475`24E0h]
# 00007FFAC46ACDC8 4833C4               xor       rax,rsp

Adding type annotations

For performance reasons, real Python enums are not used. They're just too slow. Instead, all enums are currently modules with constants in them. However, this causes problems with type checkers such as mypy since it sees integers instead of eg. Registers.

If you add type annotations to methods or variables, the enum name to use is the enum name with an appended _, eg. if the enum is Register (which is a module), use Register_ as the type name.

You don't need to do this with classes, eg. Instruction, since they're not enums.

from iced_x86 import *

BASE_REG: Register_ = Register.RAX

def my_fun(code: Code_, reg: Register_, reg2: Register_) -> Register_:
	return reg2

my_fun(Code.RDTSC, BASE_REG, Register.ECX)

Create and encode instructions

This example uses a BlockEncoder to encode created Instructions.

from iced_x86 import *

bitness = 64

# All created instructions get an IP of 0. The label id is just an IP.
# The branch instruction's *target* IP should be equal to the IP of the
# target instruction.
label_id: int = 1

def create_label() -> int:
    global label_id
    idd = label_id
    label_id += 1
    return idd

def add_label(id: int, instruction: Instruction) -> Instruction:
    instruction.ip = id
    return instruction

label1 = create_label()

instructions = []
instructions.append(Instruction.create_reg(Code.PUSH_R64, Register.RBP))

instructions.append(Instruction.create_reg_u64(
    Code.CMP_RM64_IMM32, Register.RSI, 0x1234_5678))
# Create a branch instruction that references label1
instructions.append(Instruction.create_branch(Code.JNE_REL32_64, label1))
instructions.append(Instruction.create(Code.NOPD))
# Add the instruction that is the target of the branch
instructions.append(add_label(label1, Instruction.create_reg_reg(

raw_data = b"\x12\x34\x56\x78"
instructions.append(
    add_label(data1, Instruction.create_declare_byte(raw_data)))

# Use BlockEncoder to encode a block of instructions. This block can contain any
# number of branches and any number of instructions.
# It uses Encoder to encode all instructions.
# If the target of a branch is too far away, it can fix it to use a longer branch.
# This can be disabled by passing in `False` to the ctor.
target_rip = 0x0000_1248_FC84_0000
encoder = BlockEncoder(bitness)
encoder.add_many(instructions)

# instruction was turned into a 'jmp short' instruction because we
# didn't disable branch optimizations.

Move code in memory (eg. hook a function)

Uses instruction info API and the encoder to patch a function to jump to the programmer's function.

from iced_x86 import *

# Decodes instructions from some address, then encodes them starting at some
# other address. This can be used to hook a function. You decode enough instructions
# until you have enough bytes to add a JMP instruction that jumps to your code.
# Your code will then conditionally jump to the original code that you re-encoded.
#
# This code uses the BlockEncoder which will help with some things, eg. converting
# short branches to longer branches if the target is too far away.
#
# 64-bit mode also supports RIP relative addressing, but the encoder can't rewrite
# those to use a longer displacement. If any of the moved instructions have RIP
# relative addressing and it tries to access data too far away, the encoder will fail.
# The easiest solution is to use OS alloc functions that allocate memory close to the
# original code (+/-2GB).


# This example produces the following output:
# Original code:
# 00007FFAC46ACDA4 mov [rsp+10h],rbx
# 00007FFAC46ACDA9 mov [rsp+18h],rsi
# 00007FFAC46ACDAE push rbp
