The ELF Binary Parser and Analyzer is a Rust-based tool designed to parse and analyze ELF (Executable and Linkable Format) binaries. It extracts and examines the ELF header, program headers, section headers, and other critical metadata. Additionally, it identifies suspicious or unusual sections that may indicate potential security risks or anomalies.
- ELF Header Parsing: Extract and display the ELF header, including the magic number, file type, machine architecture, entry point, and more.
- Section Header Analysis: Analyze section headers to identify unusual or suspicious sections (e.g., non-standard names, unexpected permissions).
- Program Header Parsing: Parse program headers to understand memory layout and segment permissions.
- Entry Point Analysis: Inspect the entry point address and verify its validity.
- User-Friendly Output: Display parsed data in a human-readable format.
- Rust installed on your system. If not, install it from rustup.rs.
