bod

objdump beautifier

Aim

bod (for Beautify ObjDump) is a python script that

• colorizes objdump's output to make it more readable
• allows to disassemble a single function (see Main options)
• allows to have a glance at the binary (see Main options)

Supported Targets

• elf32-littlearm
• elf32-tradlittlemips
• elf32-tradbigmips
• elf32-i386
• elf64-x86-64

Tested versions of objdump

• GNU objdump (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.26.1
• GNU objdump (GNU Binutils for Raspbian) 2.25

Note

• bod will work properly only on a system using an English locale
• bod is not compatible with the -r and -R options of objdump

Installation

cd /usr/local/src
sudo git clone https://github.com/diouziou/bod
sudo cp bod/bod /usr/local/bin/bod

Usage

Basic

Pipe objdump's output to bod, for example with:

objdump -d ./binary | bod

If needed, this output can itself be piped to less thanks to

objdump -d ./binary | bod | less -R

Main options

bod allows:

• to have a glance at what is in the binary with -l or --list
• to look at the disassembly of a single function with -f or --function
