Ropper
What Ropper is
Ropper is free software for static analysis on Linux, macOS and Windows. Its listed architecture coverage includes x86, x86-64, ARM, ARM64, MIPS, PowerPC and SPARC. The documented analysis mode is static, focusing on examining code or binaries without a runtime mode being listed. Ropper does not include a decompiler, so its stated capabilities do not cover converting compiled programs into higher-level source code. Firmware analysis is also not listed. The project has no plugin API, meaning no documented extension interface is provided. Ropper is distributed through its GitHub website and includes a free plan. Its cross-platform support and architecture range make it a general utility for users who need no-cost static examination across several processor families. The boundaries around decompilation, firmware work and plugins are part of the listed feature set.
