The README describes it as a terminal UI for static and dynamic ELF analysis, and the documentation site presents quickstart, installation, and usage pages. The release history shows rapid early packaging from 0.1.0 in 2024 through 0.3.2 in February 2026. ### Adoption history Binsider moved quickly into package-manager channels: the supplied package facts list Homebrew, Nix, Arch, Scoop, and openSUSE packages, while the official docs also document Cargo, Arch, Alpine, binary releases, source builds, Docker images, and other installation methods. ### How it is used The quickstart is `binsider `. The official docs describe general analysis, ELF layout inspection, dynamic tracing similar to strace/ltrace workflows, string extraction, and a hexdump dashboard. ### Why package nerds care Binsider is notable as a modern TUI wrapper around tasks traditionally split across readelf, ldd, strace, ltrace, strings, and hexdump. It is young, but it reflects the current packaging taste for interactive terminal tools that make old binary formats easier to explore. ### Timeline - 2023: GitHub repository is created. - 2024: v0.1.0 and first crates.io release. - 2024: 0.2.0 release and project blog material document early development. - 2026: v0.3.2 release. ### Related projects - Binsider overlaps with GNU Binutils tools such as readelf, strings, and objdump, and with tracing tools such as strace and ltrace. Its focus is ELF binaries rather than general object-file coverage. ### Sources - GitHub API reports repository creation and release dates. - GitHub README documents purpose, features, documentation links, and installation hints. - Official documentation quickstart documents command usage and feature areas. - crates.io API reports crate publication and latest version. - input.source_facts.package-manager lists package-manager availability. ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** binsider - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - binsider: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/bi/binsider/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - pacman - binsider - 0.3.2-2: normalized package name match | Arch Linux sync databases: binsider from https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/extra/os/x86_64/extra.db.tar.gz | A TUI for analyzing binaries like a boss | https://github.com/orhun/binsider - zypper - binsider - 0.3.2-1.3: normalized package name match | openSUSE Tumbleweed package metadata: binsider from https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/be8d3611d25469107f32075a1697e69ec57a2b850b42348a658cc671ad5ec2b50760d02c3e59524d50da9a11d5be799bdaffba2e166e8ca8858512e3c0bd665d-primary.xml.zst | Analyze ELF binaries | https://github.com/orhun/binsider - Scoop - main/binsider: normalized package name match | Scoop official bucket manifest trees: bucket/binsider.json from https://api.github.com/repos/ScoopInstaller/Main/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [rust](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rust/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [abi-dumper](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/abi-dumper/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: binary-analysis, cli, developer-tools, elf. - [dwarf](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/dwarf/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: binary-analysis, cli, developer-tools, elf. - [elfutils](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/elfutils/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: binary-analysis, cli, developer-tools, elf. - [elfx86exts](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/elfx86exts/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: binary-analysis, cli, developer-tools, elf. - [libabigail](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/libabigail/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: binary-analysis, cli, developer-tools, elf. - [bingrep](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bingrep/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: binary-analysis, cli, developer-tools. - [capstone](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/capstone/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: binary-analysis, cli, developer-tools. - [chrpath](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/chrpath/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, elf. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
