"input": "I'm thinking of making a tool that can predict the expected
behavior of a binary on a foreign architecture, and then allow the
binary to run and verify whether it behaved as expected. I'd also like
to track information flow inside the binary, so as to predict what
regions of memory could be influenced by external input. What might
such a tool be called? What library or libraries would be most useful
in building it? Does it exist already?", "output": "Such a tool could
be called a \"Cross-Architecture Binary Behavior Predictor and
Analyzer\" or something similar. It would involve a combination of
binary translation, emulation, and dynamic analysis
techniques.\n\nThere are several libraries and tools that could be
useful in building this tool:\n\n1. QEMU: A popular open-source
processor emulator that supports various architectures. It can be used
to emulate the foreign architecture and run the binary. QEMU also
provides an API for dynamic binary translation, which can be used to
translate the binary to the host architecture.\n\n2. LLVM: A
collection of modular and reusable compiler and toolchain
technologies. LLVM can be used to perform static and dynamic analysis
on the binary, as well as to generate intermediate representations
(IR) that can be used for further analysis and optimization.\n\n3.
Capstone: A disassembly framework that supports multiple
architectures. It can be used to disassemble the binary and analyze
its instructions.\n\n4. Valgrind: An instrumentation framework for
building dynamic analysis tools. Valgrind can be used to track memory
usage and information flow within the binary.\n\n5. PIN: A dynamic
binary instrumentation framework from Intel. It can be used to
instrument the binary and analyze its behavior at runtime.\n\n6. Angr:
A binary analysis framework that provides symbolic execution, taint
analysis, and other advanced analysis techniques. Angr can be used to
analyze the binary and predict its behavior.\n\nAs for existing tools,
there are some that perform parts of what you're looking for, but not
necessarily all in one package. For example, QEMU can emulate
different architectures, and Angr can perform advanced binary
analysis. However, a comprehensive tool that combines all these
features and focuses specifically on predicting and verifying the
behavior of binaries on foreign architectures might not exist yet. You
could potentially build upon these existing tools and libraries to
create your desired tool."}
