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.

This library uses:

• pyelftools
• bids-analyser

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 symbols and required dependent library names from 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.
