chimplink v0.2.0

chimplink turns Actually Portable Executables into a safe, text-only hybrid between Windows batch and Unix sh scripts which allows for self-extraction and execution on Windows, Linux, MacOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFlyBSD, Solaris, and more. chimplink itself is a Chimp executable file, and targets the following platforms:

Operating system Hardware architecture
Linux x86_64, aarch64, riscv64, s390x, powerpc64le
Windows x86_64
MacOS x86_64, aarch64
FreeBSD x86_64, aarch64
NetBSD x86_64, aarch64
OpenBSD x86_64, aarch64
DragonFlyBSD x86_64
Solaris x86_64

New features and enhancements:

  • Adds DragonFlyBSD support for the published chimplink executable.
  • Adds openssl as a backup for base64 decoding on Unix.
  • Adds support for embedding the generic APE loaders into Chimp executables.
  • Optimizes Windows self-extraction to use base64.exe or openssl.exe, when available.
  • Optimizes Unix startup by reusing a previously-extracted interpreter, when available.
