binary-analysis SKILL.md skillA
binary-analysis from dreadnode/capabilities is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add dreadnode/capabilities/binary-analysis@git:20260602.2db200bPins git:20260602.2db200b in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Reverse-engineer native binaries (PE, ELF, Mach-O, shellcode) end-to-end — triage, identify and unpack packers, bypass anti-debug checks, decompile and trace, recover protected artifacts (keys, configs, payloads), and emulate cross-arch with Qiling. Use for malware triage, incident response, vulnerability research, license validation, and CTF reversing.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Binary Analysis End-to-end workflow for static and dynamic reverse engineering of native binaries. The agent body covers high-level orchestration; this skill carries the technique depth, with `references/` for per-topic deep-dives. ## Reference layout — grep first `references/` has two layers. Always grep both when looking up a technique: - **`references/*.md` (local short-form)** — distilled how-to: working Qiling code, crypto decoders, format quick-refs, packer-ID tables. Optimized for fast load. - **`references/external/`** — point-in-time snapshots of the cited authoritative sources (Check Point Anti-Debug Encyclopedia, Unprotect Project, MS PE spec, Apple Mach-O ABI, ELF man pages, ired.team, hasherezade, Objective-See, al-khaser README). ~22,000 lines across 90 files. Grep for full code, disassembly, and per-technique bypass detail that doesn't fit in the local short-form. ```bash grep -rln "<api-name or technique>" references/external/ # full-corpus search ``` See `references/INDEX.md` for a topic → file map, and `references/SOURCES.md` for attribution + snapshot dates. ## Methodology grounding …

How to install
mdr add dreadnode/capabilities/binary-analysis@sha256:f72f93d2a0b75e1dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260602.2db200b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
