## What it is
SoFixer is a command-line tool that repairs ELF shared object (.so) files dumped from process memory, fixing section headers, program headers, and relocations so they can be analyzed in tools like IDA. It supports both 32-bit and 64-bit Android native libraries.

## Use cases
- repair so file dumped from memory
- fix elf shared library for ida analysis
- rebuild section headers of dumped android so
- analyze dumped native library in reverse engineering
- fix relocations in memory-dumped so file

## When to choose
- you dumped an Android .so from memory and need it loadable or analyzable in IDA
- you need to repair ELF headers and relocations of a 32-bit or 64-bit shared library

## When to avoid
- you need to repair non-ELF binaries or Windows PE files
- you need actively maintained tooling with guaranteed correctness of relocation parsing

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: reverse-engineering, parser, developer-tools
- domain: reverse-engineering, security, developer-tools
- platform: windows, cli, cpp
- tags: elf, android, so-files, memory-dump, binary-repair, ida, linux, macos
