Binary Ninja

What it is

A desktop decompiler, disassembler, and debugger from Vector 35 that lifts machine code into its own intermediate languages, called BNIL, and into C-like output. It is built to be scripted, with APIs in C++, Python, and Rust.

What it helps with

- Turning native code from many architectures into readable pseudo-C
- Triage of malware samples and firmware images
- Automating analysis with scripts and headless processing
- Debugging programs locally or on a remote target

Who it's for

Malware analysts, vulnerability researchers, and reverse engineers who need a scriptable analysis platform.

Worth knowing

Is there a student discount?
Yes, Vector 35 offers discounted licenses for full-time students and educators.

Are paid licenses subscriptions?
No, paid client licenses are perpetual and include one year of updates.
