The personal license’s primary restriction is that it only allows non-commercial use.
The personal edition is primarily for students and hobbyists to give them a powerful feature set at an extremely affordable price. It’s comparatively simple to query blocks of code, functions, trace execution flow, query register states, and many other tasks that seem herculean within IDA.īinary Ninja is a commercial product, not open source, US$$100-400, with an Enterprise level coming soon:īinary Ninja currently comes in two different flavors. It does analysis on its own intermediate language (IL), which is exposed through Python and C++ APIs. Compared to my experience with IDA, which is held together with duct tape and prayers, Binary Ninja’s workflow is a pleasure. Before I share how I slashed through the three challenges - 334 cuts, 666 cuts, and 1,000 cuts - I have to acknowledge the tool that made my work possible. If you’re wondering how to remain competitive in a post-DARPA DEFCON CTF, I highly recommend you take a look at Binary Ninja. Using Vector35’s Binary Ninja, a promising new interactive static analysis and reverse engineering platform, I wrote a script that generated “exploits” for 2,000 unique binaries in this year’s DEFCON CTF qualifying round. Ryan Stortz has a new post on the Trail of Bits Blog on the tool Binary Ninja: How to instantly exploit 2000 binaries with Binary Ninja /z64erJvfo5
