elf-inspector

elf-inspector is a set of utilities to inspect binary ELF files and collect interesting data from them. This is also a ScanCode-toolkit plugin and is also designed to work integrated in ScanCode.io for binary analysis.

To install and use:

  • Run pip install elf-inspector

  • Scancode now has two new options:

    --dwarf           Collect source code path from compilation units found in
                      ELF DWARFs.
    --elf             Collect dependent library names needed by an ELF binary
                      file.
    
  • Use with scancode --json-pp - --dwarf --elf --verbose <PATH to a tree or file with ELF binaries>

The JSON output will contain various dependencies and symbols found in binaries if any.
