## What it is
BinNavi is a binary analysis IDE for inspecting, navigating, editing, and annotating control-flow and call graphs of disassembled code, with built-in debuggers and collaborative analysis features. It is a Java desktop application from Google/zynamics that is no longer under active development.

## Use cases
- analyze control flow of disassembled x86, ARM, MIPS, and PowerPC binaries
- navigate and annotate call graphs of executables
- debug remote programs and collect execution traces
- collaboratively track reverse engineering results in a central database
- write platform-independent analysis scripts using the REIL meta-language
- tag and rename functions and basic blocks during vulnerability research

## When to choose
- you need graph-based static analysis of disassembled binaries
- you want collaborative annotation and tagging of reverse engineering projects
- you need integrated remote debugging with trace collection

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software with recent fixes
- you want to modify the graph visualization code without a commercial yFiles license
- you need support for modern architectures beyond x86, ARM, MIPS, and PowerPC

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: reverse-engineering, developer-tools, gui
- domain: reverse-engineering, security, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform, jvm
- tags: binary-analysis, disassembly, control-flow-graph, call-graph, debugging, vulnerability-research, java, yfiles, desktop
