Sleigh is a DSL used in the reverse engineering tool Ghidra, it is a language that discribes an ISA(such as x86, ARM, ...), is is premarily used for disassembling and lifting code for use in Ghidra's decompiler.
This project aims to liberate the language from Ghidra such that it can be used programmatically in other rust programs, this enables rapid prototyping of Sleigh code for new and unknown architectures, and well as enabling emulation, disassembling and assembling without the use of the whole framework of Ghidra.
This project consists of 4 primary parts: A library sleigher, and 3 tools sleigh-disasm, sleigh-asm, sleigh-emu using that library.
The 3 tools should be considered example code for using the library as well as being simple but moderately powerful tools for working with Sleigh.
- Instruction lifter to a simpler IR than raw sleigh execution semantics
- Symbolic execution engine
- JIT emulator for faster execution of lifted instructions
- Context support is current unimplemented
- Better testing, more toy examples.
- Debugger?
