❗ This is an independent community development fork of the original Capstone project that was made in order to secure the future existence of that great, but slowly dying project. Unfortunately the original project is badly suffering from an extreme lack of maintenace and very slow response to any community involvement, if at all. This is an attempt to remedy the situation, but is not meant to replace that project, and rather complement it in such a way that issues, project milestones and pull requests can be handled more rapidly to push the project forward. ❗
For questions regarding the original project and its status, please contact the original Capstone owner and repository maintainer:

Capstone is the disassembly engine which is part of the Reverse Engineering (RE) framework known as the "Reversing Trilogy", consisting of:
The framwork has as target to become the ultimate tool for binary analysis in the security community, and has already established itself as an important part in a long list of related projects using its engine to various degrees.
As such, Capstone offers some unparalleled features:
-
Support multiple hardware architectures:
ARM, ARM64 (ARMv8), Ethereum VM, M68K, Mips, PPC, Sparc, SystemZ, TMS320C64X, M680X, XCore and X86/X86_64 -
Having clean/simple/lightweight/intuitive architecture-neutral API.
-
Provide details on disassembled instruction (called “decomposer” by others).
-
Provide semantics of the disassembled instruction, such as list of implicit registers read & written.
-
Implemented in pure C language, with lightweight bindings for:
Clojure, F#, Common Lisp, Visual Basic, PHP, PowerShell, Emacs, Haskell, Perl, Python, Ruby, C#, NodeJS, Java, GO, C++, OCaml, Lua, Rust, Delphi, Free Pascal & Vala
(Available either in main code or provided externally by the community.) -
Native support for all popular platforms:
Windows/Cygwin, Mac OSX, iOS, Android, Linux, *BSD, Solaris, etc. -
Thread-safe by design.
-
Special support for embedding into firmware or OS kernel.
-
High performance & suitable for malware analysis (capable of handling various X86 malware tricks).
-
Distributed under the open source BSD license.
