elfcrunch's Introduction

Elfcrunch

I found this project in a CVS repo while cleaning out some old hard drives.
At the time, I was teaching myself C and UNIX programming by building reverse engineering tools.

I had a lot of fun with elfcrunch and learned a lot (apparently not how to use static, though). A lot of the code and functionality was inspired by elfsh. I figured I'd post it to github so people interested in ELF can skim it and so that I'd be constantly reminded of how dumb I've become over the years ;)

Elfcrunch is basically an objdump clone with some extra utilities that make reverse engineering easier.

objdump utility wouldn't print symbolic function names if the symbol table had been stripped; the displayed call operand was an address in the PLT (I think they've fixed this).
After digging into the ELF spec, I realized that it's possible to find the symbol associated with a PLT address. All of the graphs below were built from stripped binaries and their stdlib functions are displayed by name.

objdump also crashed on obfuscated binaries (encrypted sections, non-standard entrypoints, etc...) and didn't make pretty graphs.
