Now all as one project! ( made sense once vivisect went public ) For more in-depth docs on various topics, see the wiki at http://visi.kenshoto.com/
As in previous vdb releases, the command python vdbbin
from the
checkout directory will drop you into a debugger prompt on supported
platforms. ( Windows / Linux / FreeBSD / OSX... kinda? )
Commands in vdb grow/refine quickly, so use in-line help such as:
vdb> help
or...
vdb> help writemem
to show available commands and options. Additionally, for basic vdb use, the wiki at http://visi.kenshoto.com/
Fairly un-documented static analysis / emulation / symbolik analysis framework for PE/Elf/Mach-O/Blob binary formats on various architectures. To start with, you probably want to run a "bulk analysis" pass on a binary using:
python vivbin -B
which will leave you with .viv
Then run:
python vivbin .viv
to open the GUI and begin reverse engineering. As with most vtoys, the ui relies fairly heavily on right-click context menus and various memory views.
For the binary ninjas, all APIs used during automatic analysis ( and several that aren't ) are directly accessible for use writing your own custom research tools... The interface should be nearly the same when dealing with a real process ( via vdb/vtrace ) and dealing with an emulator / viv workspace.
