This project aims at providing a cross platform library to parse, modify and abstract ELF, PE and MachO formats.
Download DocumentationExecutable file formats share common features like symbols, relocations, or entry-point. LIEF provides an abstraction on these features to deal with executable features regardless of their underlying format.
Whilst the LIEF's core is written in C++, it exposes a C++11 interface with Python bindings. A subset of the API is also exposed in C.
LIEF enables, to some extent, to modify formats like adding new sections or changing the symbol's name. All the modifications are done without relying on a disassembler.
