1
+ Metasm is a pure ruby lib, and the core (metasm subdir) does not depend on any
2
+ ruby library (except the metasm/gui, which can use gtk2/qt).
3
+
4
+ So the install is quite simple:
5
+
6
+
7
+ LOCAL INSTALLATION:
8
+
9
+ Either modify your RUBYLIB environment variable to include the directory
10
+ containing metasm.rb
11
+ e.g.
12
+ under linux or cygwin:
13
+ if you downloaded metasm to $HOME/metasm, you should have a file named
14
+ $HOME/metasm/metasm.rb and need to add "export RUBYLIB=$RUBYLIB:~/metasm" to
15
+ ~/.bash_profile
16
+
17
+ under windows:
18
+ Add the path to the directory containing metasm.rb to the environment.
19
+ This is accessible through: rightclick on 'my computer', tab 'advanced',
20
+ environment.
21
+ If a line RUBYLIB exists, add ':/path/to/metasmdir' at the end, otherwise
22
+ create a new variable 'RUBYLIB' with value '/path/to/metasmdir'
23
+
24
+
25
+ SYSTEMWIDE INSTALLATION:
26
+
27
+ You can also copy the metasm.rb and the metasm subdirectory (the one containing
28
+ ia32.rb and so on) under the ruby library path.
29
+ e.g. cp -a metasm.rb metasm /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8 (linux)
30
+ select metasm.rb and metasm ; copy ; goto D:\apps\ruby18\lib\ruby\1.8\ ; paste
31
+ (replace D:\apps\ruby18 with the directory where you installed ruby) (win)
32
+
33
+ Note that metasm may not work well with rubygems, so disable it if you have the
34
+ choice.
35
+
36
+ For a global installation, if you intend to use the DynLdr class (eg to call
37
+ the native windows API), you should also run the metasm/dynldr.rb script on
38
+ install/update, which will generate an up-to-date dynldr.so binary ruby module.
39
+
40
+
41
+ TESTING:
42
+
43
+ Once done, open a new session and type "ruby -r metasm -e 'p Metasm::VERSION'"
44
+ at a commandline prompt, it should print a single line with a number in it.
45
+
46
+
47
+ GUI:
48
+
49
+ If you want to use the graphical interface (dbg/dasm), you need the ruby-gtk2 library.
50
+ Under linux, use your package manager to install ruby-gtk2
51
+ e.g. for debian/ubuntu, type sudo apt-get install libgtk2-ruby
52
+
53
+ Under windows, you'll need to install the GTK2 and the ruby bindings manually.
54
+ Please follow the instructions at:
55
+ http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?Install+Guide+for+Windows
56
+
57
+ To test, try to launch the script metasm/samples/disassemble-gui.rb (double
58
+ click on it), it should show a program selection window. Type 'c' to start
59
+ disassembling somewhere, and space to change to graph mode (see the script source
60
+ for more key bindings)

12
+
13
+ Preamble
14
+
15
+ The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
16
+ freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
17
+ Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
18
+ free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
19
+
20
+ This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some
21
+ specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the
22
+ Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You
23
+ can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether
24
+ this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better
25
+ strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.
26
+
27
+ When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,
28
+ not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that
29
+ you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge
30
+ for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get
31
+ it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of
32
+ it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do
33
+ these things.
34
+
35
+ To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
36
+ distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these
37
+ rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
38
+ you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
39
+
40
+ For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
41
+ or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
42
+ you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
43
+ code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide
44
+ complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them
45
+ with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling
46
+ it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
47
+
48
+ We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the
49
+ library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal
50
+ permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
51
+
52
+ To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that
53
+ there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is
54
+ modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know
55
+ that what they have is not the original version, so that the original
56
+ author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be
57
+ introduced by others.
58
+
59
+ Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of
60
+ any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot
61
+ effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a
62
+ restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that
63
+ any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be
64
+ consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
65
+
66
+ Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
67
+ ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser
68
+ General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and
69
+ is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use
70
+ this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those
71
+ libraries into non-free programs.
72
+
73
+ When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using
74
+ a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a
75
+ combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary
76
+ General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the
77
+ entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General
78
+ Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with
79
+ the library.
80
+
81
+ We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it
82
+ does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General
83
+ Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less
84
+ of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages
85
+ are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many
86
+ libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain
87
+ special circumstances.
88
+
89
+ For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to
90
+ encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes
91
+ a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be
92
+ allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free
93
+ library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this
94
+ case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
95
+ software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
96
+
97
+ In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free
98
+ programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of
99
+ free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in
100
+ non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU
101
+ operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating
102
+ system.
103
+
104
+ Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the
105
+ users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is
106
+ linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run
107
+ that program using a modified version of the Library.
108
+
109
+ The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
110
+ modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a
111
+ "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The
112
+ former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must
113
+ be combined with the library in order to run.
114
+
115
+ GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
116
+ TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
117
+
118
+ 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other
119
+ program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or
120
+ other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of
121
+ this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License").
122
+ Each licensee is addressed as "you".
123
+
124
+ A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
125
+ prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
126
+ (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
127
+
128
+ The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
129
+ which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the
130
+ Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
131
+ copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
132
+ portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
133
+ straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is
134
+ included without limitation in the term "modification".)
135
+
136
+ "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
137
+ making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means
138
+ all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
139
+ interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation
140
+ and installation of the library.
141
+
142
+ Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
143
+ covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
144
+ running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
145
+ such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
146
+ on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
147
+ writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
148
+ and what the program that uses the Library does.
149
+
150
+ 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
151
+ complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
152
+ you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
153
+ appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
154
+ all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
155
+ warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
156
+ Library.
157
+
158
+ You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
159
+ and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
160
+ fee.
161
+
162
+ 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion
163
+ of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
164
+ distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
165
+ above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
166
+
167
+ a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
168
+
169
+ b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
170
+ stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
171
+
172
+ c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
173
+ charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
174
+
175
+ d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a
176
+ table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses
177
+ the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility
178
+ is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,
179
+ in the event an application does not supply such function or
180
+ table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of
181
+ its purpose remains meaningful.
182
+
183
+ (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has
184
+ a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the
185
+ application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
186
+ application-supplied function or table used by this function must
187
+ be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square
188
+ root function must still compute square roots.)
189
+
190
+ These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
191
+ identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
192
+ and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
193
+ themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
194
+ sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
195
+ distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
196
+ on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
197
+ this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
198
+ entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
199
+ it.
200
+
201
+ Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
202
+ your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
203
+ exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
204
+ collective works based on the Library.
205
+
206
+ In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
207
+ with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
208
+ a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
209
+ the scope of this License.
210
+
211
+ 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
212
+ License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do
213
+ this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
214
+ that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
215
+ instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the
216
+ ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
217
+ that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in
218
+ these notices.
219
+
220
+ Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
221
+ that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
222
+ subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
223
+
224
+ This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
225
+ the Library into a program that is not a library.
226
+
227
+ 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
228
+ derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
229
+ under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
230
+ it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
231
+ must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
232
+ medium customarily used for software interchange.
233
+
234
+ If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
235
+ from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
236
+ source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
237
+ distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
238
+ compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
239
+
240
+ 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
241
+ Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
242
+ linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a
243
+ work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
244
+ therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
245
+
246
+ However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
247
+ creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
248
+ contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
249
+ library". The executable is therefore covered by this License.
250
+ Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
251
+
252
+ When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
253
+ that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
254
+ derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
255
+ Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
256
+ linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The
257
+ threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
258
+
259
+ If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
260
+ structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
261
+ functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
262
+ file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
263
+ work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
264
+ Library will still fall under Section 6.)
265
+
266
+ Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
267
+ distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
268
+ Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
269
+ whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
270
+
271
+ 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or
272
+ link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
273
+ work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
274
+ under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
275
+ modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
276
+ engineering for debugging such modifications.
277
+
278
+ You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
279
+ Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
280
+ this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work
281
+ during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
282
+ copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
283
+ directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one
284
+ of these things:
285
+
286
+ a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
287
+ machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
288
+ changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
289
+ Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
290
+ with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
291
+ uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
292
+ user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
293
+ executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood
294
+ that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
295
+ Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
296
+ to use the modified definitions.)
297
+
298
+ b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
299
+ Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a
300
+ copy of the library already present on the user's computer system,
301
+ rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2)
302
+ will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if
303
+ the user installs one, as long as the modified version is
304
+ interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
305
+
306
+ c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at
307
+ least three years, to give the same user the materials
308
+ specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more
309
+ than the cost of performing this distribution.
310
+
311
+ d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
312
+ from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
313
+ specified materials from the same place.
314
+
315
+ e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
316
+ materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
317
+
318
+ For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the
319
+ Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
320
+ reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception,
321
+ the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is
322
+ normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
323
+ components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
324
+ which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
325
+ the executable.
326
+
327
+ It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
328
+ restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
329
+ accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot
330
+ use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
331
+ distribute.
332
+
333
+ 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
334
+ Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
335
+ facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
336
+ library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
337
+ the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
338
+ permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
339
+
340
+ a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
341
+ based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
342
+ facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the
343
+ Sections above.
344
+
345
+ b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
346
+ that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
347
+ where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
348
+
349
+ 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
350
+ the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any
351
+ attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
352
+ distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
353
+ rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies,
354
+ or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
355
+ terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
356
+
357
+ 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
358
+ signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
359
+ distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are
360
+ prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
361
+ modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
362
+ Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
363
+ all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
364
+ the Library or works based on it.
365
+
366
+ 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
367
+ Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
368
+ original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
369
+ subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
370
+ restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
371
+ You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with
372
+ this License.
373
+
374
+ 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
375
+ infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
376
+ conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
377
+ otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
378
+ excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
379
+ distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
380
+ License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
381
+ may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent
382
+ license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
383
+ all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
384
+ the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
385
+ refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
386
+
387
+ If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
388
+ particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply,
389
+ and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
390
+
391
+ It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
392
+ patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
393
+ such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
394
+ integrity of the free software distribution system which is
395
+ implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
396
+ generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
397
+ through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
398
+ system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
399
+ to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
400
+ impose that choice.
401
+
402
+ This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
403
+ be a consequence of the rest of this License.
404
+
405
+ 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in
406
+ certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
407
+ original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add
408
+ an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
409
+ so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
410
+ excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
411
+ written in the body of this License.
412
+
413
+ 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
414
+ versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time.
415
+ Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
416
+ but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
417
+
418
+ Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library
419
+ specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
420
+ "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
421
+ conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
422
+ the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a
423
+ license version number, you may choose any version ever published by
424
+ the Free Software Foundation.
425
+
426
+ 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
427
+ programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these,
428
+ write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is
429
+ copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
430
+ Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our
431
+ decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
432
+ of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
433
+ and reuse of software generally.
434
