All data is bad, stay safe with vulnscan

vulnscan is a static binary vulnerablity scanner. It could be used to detect if target executable files contain any known vulnerability, that potentially comes from popular 3rd party libraries in use.

This tool is designed to be cross-platformed. It could be compiled and run on both Windows and Linux. Also it could be used to scan Windows executables and Linux executables. The currently supported scan targets include:

Windows executables: exe dll

Linux executables: elf

How to run this tool

vulnscan [path to target binary file]
vulnscan [path to target folder]

The output would be like:

How does it work

vulnscan is consisted of 2 types of scan engine, the string scanner and disassembly scanner.

String scanner looks through all human readable strings in the target file and match them against predefined signatures of each known vulnerability.

Disassembly scanner uses capstone to disassemble the whole code section of target file. By examining the call sequence pattern of the potential vulnerable functions, it would be able to tell if those functions contains certain known vulnerabilities or not.
