Pharos
What Pharos is
Pharos is a free Linux software project founded in 2015 for static analysis of software. It does not provide a decompiler. Pharos supports Linux, while the listed architecture detail identifies 32-bit x86 support for OOAnalyzer; broader architecture support for Pharos is not verified. Its static-analysis mode examines software without executing it, making it suited to users who need to inspect programs in a Linux environment. The project is available through its website and uses a free plan, so no purchase is required to access the listed offering. Because the available platform information names Linux only, readers should plan around that operating-system requirement.
Who it suits
Pharos suits Linux users seeking static analysis and those working with OOAnalyzer on 32-bit x86. It is not aimed at users seeking a decompiler.
What it does well
- Free plan
- Static analysis mode
- Linux support
- Founded in 2015
What to know first
- No decompiler
- Broader Pharos architectures unverified
- Linux platform only
Verdict
Pharos offers free static analysis for Linux. Its lack of a decompiler and limited verified architecture information should guide tool selection.
