What is VBinDiff?
VBinDiff is a powerful binary code comparison and analysis tool used primarily in malware analysis, vulnerability research, reverse engineering, and patch analysis. It allows quick, accurate comparison of binary files including executables, libraries, drivers, and more.
Some key features and capabilities of VBinDiff include:
- Fast and robust matching of functions and basic blocks between binary files
- Identification of new, modified, or deleted code segments down to the instruction level
- Detailed reports showing file differences, similiarities, dead code, security impacts, and more
- Support for all common executable formats like PE, ELF, Mach-O, and raw binary code
- An intuitive user interface for easy navigation and analysis of binary code comparisons
- Scripting and automation capabilities via command line and APIs
- Plug-in architecture to customize analysis and integrate with other tools
VBinDiff can process very large codebases with hundreds of thousands of functions quickly and accurately. It is widely used by malware analysts, vulnerability researchers, QA engineers, product security teams, and consultants to identify changes between binary program versions, analyze software patches, perform competitive analysis, and many other binary code comparison tasks.
