flobernd df101d0fe0 Decoder improvements
- Instructions which are only valid in protected-mode are now rejected, if `ZYDIS_MACHINE_MODE_REAL_16` is used
- The `scale` of memory-operands is now correctly set to `1` in 16-bit mode, if an index register was specified

Zyan Disassembler Engine (Zydis)

License: MIT Gitter

Fast and lightweight x86/x86-64 disassembler library.

Features

  • Supports all x86 and x86-64 (AMD64) instructions.
  • Supports pretty much all ISA extensions (list incomplete):
    • FPU (x87), MMX
    • SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, SSE4A, AESNI
    • AVX, AVX2, AVX512BW, AVX512CD, AVX512DQ, AVX512ER, AVX512F, AVX512PF, AVX512VL
    • ADX, BMI1, BMI2, FMA, FMA4
  • Optimized for high performance
  • No dynamic memory allocation ("malloc")
  • Very small file-size overhead compared to other common disassembler libraries
  • Complete doxygen documentation
  • No dependencies on platform specific APIs
    • Should compile on any platform with a complete libc and CMake
    • Tested on Windows, macOS and Linux

Roadmap

  • Language bindings [v2.0 final]
  • Tests [v2.0 final]
  • Graphical editor for the instruction-database [v2.0 final]
  • Implement CMake feature gates. Currently, everything is always included. [v2.0 final]
  • Encoding support [v2.1]

Quick Example

The following example program uses Zydis to disassemble a given memory buffer and prints the output to the console.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <Zydis/Zydis.h>

int main()
{
    uint8_t data[] =
    {
        0x51, 0x8D, 0x45, 0xFF, 0x50, 0xFF, 0x75, 0x0C, 0xFF, 0x75, 
        0x08, 0xFF, 0x15, 0xA0, 0xA5, 0x48, 0x76, 0x85, 0xC0, 0x0F, 
        0x88, 0xFC, 0xDA, 0x02, 0x00
    };

    // Initialize decoder context.
    ZydisDecoder decoder;
    ZydisDecoderInit(
        &decoder, 
        ZYDIS_MACHINE_MODE_LONG_64, 
        ZYDIS_ADDRESS_WIDTH_64);

    // Initialize formatter. Only required when you actually plan to
    // do instruction formatting ("disassembling"), like we do here.
    ZydisFormatter formatter;
    ZydisFormatterInit(&formatter, ZYDIS_FORMATTER_STYLE_INTEL);
  
    // Loop over the instructions in our buffer.
    uint64_t instructionPointer = 0x007FFFFFFF400000;
    uint8_t* readPointer = data;
    size_t length = sizeof(data);
    ZydisDecodedInstruction instruction;
    while (ZYDIS_SUCCESS(ZydisDecoderDecodeBuffer(
        &decoder, readPointer, length, instructionPointer, &instruction)))
    {
        // Print current instruction pointer.
        printf("%016" PRIX64 "  ", instructionPointer);

        // Format & print the binary instruction 
        // structure to human readable format.
        char buffer[256];
        ZydisFormatterFormatInstruction(
            &formatter, &instruction, buffer, sizeof(buffer));
        puts(buffer);

        readPointer += instruction.length;
        length -= instruction.length;
        instructionPointer += instruction.length;
    }
}

Sample Output

The above example program generates the following output:

007FFFFFFF400000   push rcx
007FFFFFFF400001   lea eax, [rbp-0x01]
007FFFFFFF400004   push rax
007FFFFFFF400005   push qword ptr [rbp+0x0C]
007FFFFFFF400008   push qword ptr [rbp+0x08]
007FFFFFFF40000B   call [0x008000007588A5B1]
007FFFFFFF400011   test eax, eax
007FFFFFFF400013   js 0x007FFFFFFF42DB15

Compilation

Zydis builds cleanly on most platforms without any external dependencies. You can use CMake to generate project files for your favorite C99 compiler.

# Linux and OS X
git clone 'https://github.com/zyantific/zydis.git'
cd zydis
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make
