Capstone is a disassembly framework with the target of becoming the ultimate
disasm engine for binary analysis and reversing in the security community.
Created by Nguyen Anh Quynh, then developed and maintained by a small community,
Capstone offers some unparalleled features:
- Support multiple hardware architectures: ARM, ARM64 (ARMv8), BPF, Ethereum VM,
M68K, M680X, Mips, MOS65XX, PPC, RISC-V(rv32G/rv64G), SH, Sparc, SystemZ,

TMS320C64X, TriCore, Webassembly, XCore and X86 (16, 32, 64).
2013-11-27 04:11:31 +00:00
- Having clean/simple/lightweight/intuitive architecture-neutral API.
- Provide details on disassembled instruction (called “decomposer” by others).
- Provide semantics of the disassembled instruction, such as list of implicit

registers read & written.
2013-11-27 04:11:31 +00:00
2020-11-25 08:19:40 +00:00
