Analyze Rust native binaries — demangle symbols, extract panic paths to reconstruct module map, detect frameworks (Tauri/Actix/Rocket/Axum), locate license validation logic.

Rust Binary Analyzer

Purpose

Rust compiles to native code with no bytecode/IL to decompile, but leaves rich metadata in the binary: mangled symbol names, panic strings with source paths, and framework-specific signatures. This skill extracts and organises that metadata to give the reverse engineer a high-level map of the application before opening IDA or Ghidra.

Workflow

┌────────────┐     ┌──────────────┐     ┌───────────────────┐
│ target.exe │────▶│ analyze_rust │────▶│ rust_analysis.json │
└────────────┘     └──────────────┘     └───────────────────┘
                         │
                         ├─ Demangle symbols (_RN… / _ZN…)
                         ├─ Extract panic paths → module tree
                         ├─ Detect framework (Tauri, Actix, …)
                         ├─ Find license-related functions
                         └─ Identify linked crates

Usage

bash

python rust-binary-analyzer/scripts/analyze_rust.py target.exe --out output/rust-analysis
python rust-binary-analyzer/scripts/analyze_rust.py target.exe --json output/rust_info.json

Outputs

File	Content
`rust_info.json`	Full analysis: symbols, panic paths, framework, license targets
`demangled_symbols.txt`	All demangled Rust symbols
`module_tree.txt`	Reconstructed source module hierarchy
`license_targets.txt`	Functions likely related to licensing

When to use

binary-identifier reports Rust language
Target contains .rs: panic strings or _RN/_ZN mangled symbols
Tauri desktop app (chains into tauri-unpacker)

Anti-patterns

Mistake	Fix
Trying to decompile Rust to source	Rust → native; use IDA/Ghidra for code, this skill for metadata
Ignoring panic strings	Panic paths reveal the full source tree — always extract first
Skipping symbol demangling	Mangled names are unreadable; demangling reveals crate::module::function
Missing Tauri frontend	If framework=Tauri, chain `tauri-unpacker` to get the JS/HTML
