rev.ng is an open-source binary analysis framework and decompiler built on LLVM and QEMU, supporting over 20 CPU architectures. It automatically recovers data structures, function prototypes, and emits readable C code, with a declarative YAML-based workflow and a VSCode-based UI.

Use cases

  • decompile a compiled binary back to C code
  • analyze malware or unknown executables without source
  • recover structs and data types from stripped binaries
  • disassemble and inspect ELF, PE, and Mach-O files
  • lift binaries across 20+ CPU architectures via QEMU
  • script binary analysis pipelines using YAML models
  • import IDA databases and DWARF/PDB debug info

When to choose

  • you need a free, open-source decompiler alternative to IDA/Ghidra
  • you want automatic interprocedural struct and array recovery
  • you need multi-architecture support leveraging QEMU
  • you prefer scriptable, declarative (YAML) analysis workflows

When to avoid

  • you need a mature GUI-centric reversing workflow with a large plugin ecosystem today
  • you require fully offline standalone UI, which is still in closed beta
  • you only need quick static string/entropy triage rather than deep decompilation
