About Binary Ninja
Binary Ninja disassembles native code and decompiles it to readable C or to its own intermediate language, BNIL, for any supported architecture, including architectures you add yourself. A GUI shows control flow and stack layouts. The built-in debugger works locally or remotely.
Analysis can be scripted through C++, Python and Rust APIs from inside or outside the interface, and plugins extend it. Version 6.0 adds binary similarity, TMS320C6x support and MCP. Real-time collaboration needs the Enterprise server, and a cloud version lets you try it in a browser.
