Binary Ninja

Reverse Engineering, Reimagined.

Visit Binary Ninja

Binary Ninja is an interactive decompiler, disassembly, debugger, and binary analysis platform for reverse engineers working with compiled code. It supports disassembly and decompilation to C or BNIL across many architectures, including x86, x86_64, ARMv7, ARMv8, PowerPC, MIPS, RISC-V, and others, with loaders for PE, Mach-O, ELF, and additional formats. The platform addresses the need to understand, annotate, patch, and debug binaries through a GUI with control flow visualization, split views, and triage tools.

Automation is available through C++, Python, and Rust APIs, usable inside or outside the UI, with headless operation supported on Commercial and Ultimate licenses. The open source native debugger handles local and remote debugging on Windows, macOS, and Linux. A Plugin Manager supports community plugins, and AI-powered features assist with analysis. Enterprise adds real-time collaboration with synchronized commits. Binary Ninja runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, with a single purchase covering all three platforms. A free trial is available through Cloud, and licensing is offered in editions including Commercial and Ultimate.
