VM_Disassembler

A recursive disassembler written in Python. Best suitable for VMs in CTFs.

See example.py for a disassembler for https://crackmes.one/crackme/5bc0fe0033c5d4110a29b296.

The VM_Diassembler class should be initialized with four parameters:

vm_dis = VM_Disassembler(vm_code, disassembler, entry_point, look_ahead_len)

Where vm_code is the code to disassemble (a list of integer bytes); disassembler is the disassembler function (see below); entry_point is the offset of the first instruction; look_ahead_len specifies how many bytes to consider when disassembling the current instruction. This can be set to the max length of an instruction. Leave it to 0 if unsure.

The user only needs to write a disassembler() function which disassembles one instruction. The VM_Disassembler will handler all the other stuff.

def disassembler(addr, data):
    # hard work here
    return instr_len, instr_text, possible_next_addrs

disassembler() takes two parameters:

addr: the current address

data: the data to disassemble

It should return three things:

instr_len: the length of the current instruction

instr_text: the disassembly text of the current instruction

possible_next_addrs: a list of possible next addresses after the current instruction

I hope this will be helpful for your next CTF. Issues and PRs are welcome!
