LIEF ELF Loader for Binary Ninja

Author: Romain Thomas - @rh0main

Experimental ELF loader based on LIEF to process section-less binaries in Binary Ninja

Description

In the current version (2.0.2162) of Binary Ninja, the ELF parser relies its analysis on ELF's sections. Whistle the section provides a finer granularity compared to segments, they are not used to execute the binary. Therefore, sections can be corrupted or removed to break ELF parsers. This plugin enables to optionally use LIEF to handle such binaries.
