diStorm3 is a lightweight, fast disassembler library for x86/AMD64 machine code, licensed under BSD. It acts as a decomposer, returning binary structures describing instructions rather than static text, making it ideal for advanced binary code analysis.

Use cases

• disassemble x86 and x64 binary streams
• analyze malware or unknown binaries at the instruction level
• build reverse-engineering or debugging tools
• hook or instrument native code
• decode machine instructions into structured data programmatically

When to choose

• you need a fast, lightweight x86/AMD64 disassembler with a simple single API
• you want structured instruction decompositions instead of plain text output
• you need complete 64-bit support with proven performance
• you want Python bindings via pip

When to avoid

• you need disassembly for non-x86 architectures like ARM or RISC-V
• you need a full reverse-engineering suite with a GUI rather than a library
• you require an actively developed project with frequent updates
