[New Plugin]: BinAssist - Yet another LLM plugin

[jtang613]

Plugin Description

A plugin that provides LLM helpers to explain code and assist in RE.

Description:

This is a LLM plugin aimed at enabling the use of local LLM's (ollama, text-generation-webui, lm-studio, etc) for assisting with binary exploration and reverse engineering. It supports any OpenAI v1-compatible API. Recommended models are LLaMA-based models such as llama3.1:8b, but others should work as well.

Current features include:

• Explain the current function - Works at all IL levels.
• Explain the current instruction - Works at all IL levels.
• General query - Query the LLM directly from the UI.
• Propose actions - Provide a list of proposed actions to apply.
• Function calling - Allow agent to call functions to navigate the binary, rename functions and variables.
• RLHF dataset generation - To enable model fine tuning.
• RAG augmentation - Supports adding contextual documents to refine query effectiveness.
• Settings to modify API host, key, model name and max tokens.

Future Roadmap:

• Agentic assistant - Use Autogen or similar framework for self-guided binary RE.
• Model fine tuning - Leverage the RLHF dataset to fine tune the model.

Thanks for the submission! Just added the plugin now. As a heads up in the future, you can remove the longdescription field and the plugin manager will just pull the data from the readme instead of having to maintain both.

Also, highly recommend you switch the API key fields to use the hidden bool on the key.

Actually, the import failed. Please double check that the release was done appropriately (I recommend using the gh cli tool, or https://github.com/Vector35/release_helper)

Thanks for the quick turnaround! Great advice - I'll make sure to incorporate that into the next release.

[psifertex]

Well, you might be able to do that sooner rather than later. 😉

I used the instructions here: https://binary.ninja/2019/07/04/plugin-manager-2.0.html#5-create-a-release
I'll try a point release using the helper.

The helper is giving me odd HTTP 404 errors. Does your import script give any hints as to what I've done wrong?

I apologize - this is my first BN plugin. I do have a release tagged with 0.1.0. Is this not the correct format?

Let me investigate some.

D'oh, my apologies. Copy/paste failure. 😞 Should be live shortly! You didn't do anything wrong, sorry about that.
