This article presents the open source BINSEC platform for (formal) binary-level code analysis. The platform is based on an extension of the DBA Intermediate Representation, and it is composed of three main modules: a front-end including several syntactic disassembly algorithms and heavy simplification of the resulting IR, a simulator supporting the recent low-level region-based memory model, and a generic static analysis module.
