Ropper is a Python CLI tool that displays information about binary files (ELF, PE, Mach-O, RAW) and finds ROP/JOP gadgets to build exploit chains across x86/x86_64, ARM/ARM64, MIPS, PowerPC, and SPARC64 architectures. It uses the Capstone framework for disassembly and supports semantic gadget search and automatic ROP chain generation.

Use cases

  • find rop gadgets in a binary
  • build rop chains for exploit development
  • inspect elf/pe/mach-o binary headers and sections
  • search gadgets for arm or mips architectures
  • disassemble binary instructions with capstone
  • generate execve or mprotect rop chain automatically
  • find stack pivot gadgets

When to choose

  • you need a multi-architecture ROP gadget finder for exploit development
  • you want binary file inspection (headers, sections, imports, symbols) alongside gadget search
  • you need semantic constraint-based gadget search
  • you want automatic ROP chain generation for common syscalls

When to avoid

  • you need a full interactive reverse-engineering suite like Ghidra or IDA
  • you only need static analysis without gadget hunting
  • you require architectures outside the supported list
  • you need a GUI-based binary analysis workflow
