## What it is
Panopticon is a libre, cross-platform disassembler written in Rust for reverse engineering binaries. It supports AMD64, x86, AVR, and MOS 6502 instruction sets, opens ELF files, and includes a Qt/QML GUI for browsing and annotating control flow graphs.

## Use cases
- disassemble x86 and amd64 binaries
- reverse engineer AVR firmware
- analyze MOS 6502 ROMs
- browse and annotate control flow graphs of a binary
- open and inspect ELF files
- learn binary analysis with an open-source tool

## When to choose
- you need a free, cross-platform GUI disassembler for x86, AVR, or 6502 targets
- you prefer open-source tooling over IDA or Ghidra for lightweight disassembly
- you want a Rust-based disassembly library or tool to extend

## When to avoid
- you need active maintenance or recent architecture support - the project is deprecated and moved to GitLab
- you need modern CPU architectures like ARM64 or RISC-V
- you require commercial-grade support or extensive plugin ecosystems

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: reverse-engineering, gui, static-site-generator
- domain: reverse-engineering, security, developer-tools
- platform: windows, cross-platform, rust
- tags: disassembler, qml, static-analysis, deprecated, elf, linux, macos
