Abstract Binary Format

Manage your ELF, PE or Mach-O format as an abstraction or more specifically.

Install

$ sudo ./setup.py install

Example

Via the abstraction :

>>> from abf.abstract import *                                                                                                                                            
>>> binary = Abstract('/usr/bin/id')                                                                                                                                      

>>> binary.getFormat()
'ELF'
>>> hex(binary.getEntryPoint())
'0x4022bcL'

>>> binary = Abstract('./binaries/pe-Windows-x86-cmd')                                                                                                                    
>>> binary.getFormat()

>>> binary.getFormat()

>>> hex(binary.getEntryPoint())

>>> sectionsExec = binary.getExecSections()

Or more specifically :

>>> elf = binary.getBinary()

>>> elf

>>> hex(elf.header.e_entry)

>>> shdrs = elf.shdrs
>>> for shdr in shdrs:
