Medusa is an open-source, modular, interactive disassembler written in C++, organized as a library with frontends including a GUI (qMedusa) and a text interface (medusa_text). It supports loaders for ELF, PE, Mach-O, and GameBoy binaries.
Use cases
- disassemble an ELF or PE binary
- reverse engineer a Mach-O executable
- analyze GameBoy ROM code
- explore disassembly interactively with a GUI
- script binary analysis using a disassembler library
When to choose
- you need a free, open-source alternative to IDA for interactive disassembly
- you want a disassembler core you can embed or extend as a C++ library
- you need cross-platform binary analysis on Windows, Linux, or macOS
When to avoid
- you need mature relocation, symbol, or export handling for all formats
- you require commercial-grade support or extensive processor module coverage
- you need a lightweight command-line-only tool without Qt dependencies
