Static analysis tool for ELF libraries and executables.

ELF Dissector is useful if you need to do one or more of the following tasks:

• Inspecting forward and backward dependencies, on library and symbol level.
• Identifying load-time performance bottlenecks such as expensive static constructors or excessive relocations.
• Size profiling of ELF files.

• ELF structure browser.
• Tree map visualization of the size of the various parts of an ELF file.
• Relocation heatmap.
• Built-in disassmbler for x86 and AArch64.
• Browser for data type memory layouts extracted from DWARF debug information.
• Forward and backward dependency viewer.

ELF Dissector also doubles as a research platform for more experimental work around ELF files and loading/dynamic linking. Some of this is only available in CLI tools. Use at your own risk.

• Identifying sub-optimal struct packing.
• Optimizing dependency order by lookup hit rate probability.
• Identifying duplicate vtable or typeinfo emission.
• Loading/dynamic linking profiler.
• Identifying unused symbols in a set of ELF files.
