binsider Plugin

binsider is a TUI binary analyzer combining readelf, nm, strings, ldd and hexdump workflows — plus dynamic syscall tracing.

Commands

Analysis

• binsider binary analyze <file> — Open the analysis TUI on a binary
• binsider self version — Show version
• binsider _ _ — Passthrough to binsider CLI

Usage Examples

• "What libraries does this binary link against?"
• "Show me the strings in this executable"
• "Inspect the ELF headers of ./app"
• "Trace the syscalls this binary makes"

Installation

cargo install binsider
# or: cargo binstall binsider
# or: brew install binsider

Examples

binsider /bin/ls          # full TUI analysis
binsider ./suspicious     # inspect symbols/strings/hex tabs

Key Features

• Static analysis: ELF headers, sections, segments, symbols, strings, linked libs
• Hex viewer with navigation and highlighting
• Dynamic analysis: run with syscall tracing + histograms
• One binary replaces readelf + nm + strings + ldd + hexdump juggling
