BinAssist

Author: Jason Tang

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

Support Continued Improvements

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.

Quickstart

• If necessary, pip install -r requirements.txt from the plugin directory.
• Open Settings -> BinAssist.
• Ensure the RLHF and RAG database paths are appropriate for your environment.
• Point the API host to your prefered API provider and set the API key.
• Load a binary.
• Open BinAssist with the 'BA' sidebar icon and start exploring.
