Binary Lifting Skill

This skill covers techniques and tools for lifting binary executables to LLVM IR, enabling advanced analysis, transformation, and recompilation of existing binaries.

Core Concepts

What is Binary Lifting?

Binary lifting is the process of translating low-level machine code (x86, ARM, etc.) into a higher-level intermediate representation (LLVM IR), enabling:

• Static and dynamic analysis
• Deobfuscation and vulnerability research
• Code recompilation and optimization
• Cross-architecture translation

Lifting Pipeline

Binary → Disassembly → IR Generation → Optimization → Analysis/Recompilation
