knife

Rust CLI/MCP toolkit that triages, disassembles, and audits PE/ELF/Mach-O binaries for reverse engineering.

Desktopfree

knife is a free, static binary-analysis CLI for reverse engineers, covering triage, disassembly, function and control-flow recovery, and crypto/YARA scanning across PE, ELF, and Mach-O formats from one binary. Its vulnerability-research commands trace dangerous API calls back to their argument source to rank which are actually exploitable, and it exposes the same analysis over an MCP server so an AI agent can safely inspect malware without ever running it.
