Manticore is a symbolic execution tool for analyzing Ethereum smart contracts, Linux ELF binaries, and WASM modules. It explores program states with symbolic inputs, generates concrete test inputs, and exposes a scriptable Python API for custom analyses.

Use cases

  • find crashes and vulnerabilities in binaries via symbolic execution
  • analyze ethereum smart contracts for exploitable states
  • generate inputs that reach a specific code path
  • script custom dynamic binary analysis in python
  • explore all reachable states of a program with symbolic inputs

When to avoid

  • you need an actively maintained tool - the project is archived
  • you need symbolic execution for platforms other than EVM, ELF x86/ARM, or WASM
  • you want a GUI-based reverse engineering tool
