This repository serves as a central hub for community-contributed plugins for Binary Ninja, a reverse engineering platform. It offers a wide array of extensions to enhance analysis capabilities, support new architectures, and improve user experience for reverse engineers and security researchers.
How It Works
The project aggregates plugins developed by the Binary Ninja community. Each plugin is typically a Python script that leverages Binary Ninja's API to add new features, loaders, architectures, or analysis tools. The plugins are categorized by their function (e.g., helper
, architecture
, ui
, binaryview
, sync
), allowing users to find specific enhancements.
Quick Start & Requirements
- Plugins are installed via Binary Ninja's built-in Plugin Manager or by cloning plugin repositories into the Binary Ninja plugin folder.
- Most plugins require Python 3 and are compatible with Linux, macOS (Darwin), and Windows. Specific architecture plugins may have additional requirements.
- Refer to individual plugin READMEs for detailed installation and dependency information.
Highlighted Details
- Extensive support for various architectures, including ARM, MIPS, RISC-V, Xtensa, and specialized processors like AMD-SP/PSP and Game Boy.
- Numerous plugins focus on AI/LLM integration for code explanation, function renaming, and general RE assistance.
- Includes plugins for cross-decompiler collaboration (BinSync), debugging integration (Frida, decomp2dbg), and specialized file format loaders (UEFI, PSVita, GameCube).
- A significant number of plugins are actively maintained, with recent updates in 2024 and 2025.
Maintenance & Community
- The repository is managed by Vector 35, Inc., the developers of Binary Ninja.
- Community contributions are encouraged, with a clear process for submitting new plugins via GitHub releases and issues.
- Links to official plugins and sample templates are provided for developers.
Licensing & Compatibility
- Individual plugins are released under various licenses, including MIT, Apache-2.0, GPL-3.0, AGPL-3.0, and BSD variants.
- The content within the root of this repository is MIT licensed by Vector 35, Inc.
- Users must check the license of each individual plugin for compatibility with commercial or closed-source projects. Some plugins, like those under GPL/AGPL, may have copyleft restrictions.
Limitations & Caveats
- Plugins are community-provided, and Vector 35 offers no guarantees regarding their quality, safety, or efficacy.
- Some older plugins may still use Python 2, which is deprecated.
- The variety of licenses means careful review is needed for commercial use cases.
