NAME¶
dissy - graphical frontend for objdump
DESCRIPTION¶
Dissy is a disassembler for Linux and UNIX which supports multiple architectures
and allows easy navigation through the code. Dissy is implemented in Python
and uses objdump for disassembling files. Dissy can be used for debugging,
reverse engineering and checking compiler-generated code.
- -t BASE_ADDRESS
- Use BASE_ADDRESS as the start address of the disassembled code
- -h
- Display usage
Features and usage¶
* Dissy shows jumps with red links to the destination address
* A label is used to show call destinations
* Clicking (or pressing enter) on calls or jumps will take you to the
destination function / address
* Dissy supports interactive searching for labels and addresses both for
functions and instructions
* Browser-like history navigation (back/forward) is available, which is useful
for example to lookup callchains. Alt-Left and Alt-Right are used to navigate
back and forward
* The lookup (use Ctrl-l to access) feature allows for looking up pasted
addresses or labels. The lookup is intelligent in that it tries to convert
common patterns into numbers before reverting to label lookup. Pasting
multiple addresses or names will lookup each in turn and stop at the last
(access the earlier in the history)
* The highlight field (ues Ctrl-k to access) allows the disassembled text to be
highlighted for example to show all accesses to a certain register. Regular
expressions are allowed in this field
* The preferences window can be used to select which objdump to use (which can
also be controlled by the OBJDUMP environment variable). Colors can also be
selected in this window.
