DISSY(1)DISSY(1)NAMEdissy - graphical frontend for objdump
DESCRIPTION
Dissy is a disassembler for Linux and UNIX which supports multiple
architectures and allows easy navigation through the code. Dissy is
implemented in Python and uses objdump for disassembling files. Dissy
can be used for debugging, reverse engineering and checking compiler-
generated code.
-t BASE_ADDRESS
Use BASE_ADDRESS as the start address of the disassembled code
-h Display usage
Features and usage
* Dissy shows jumps with red links to the destination address
* A label is used to show call destinations
* Clicking (or pressing enter) on calls or jumps will take you to the
destination function / address
* Dissy supports interactive searching for labels and addresses both
for functions and instructions
* Browser-like history navigation (back/forward) is available, which is
useful for example to lookup callchains. Alt-Left and Alt-Right are
used to navigate back and forward
* The lookup (use Ctrl-l to access) feature allows for looking up
pasted addresses or labels. The lookup is intelligent in that it tries
to convert common patterns into numbers before reverting to label
lookup. Pasting multiple addresses or names will lookup each in turn
and stop at the last (access the earlier in the history)
* The highlight field (ues Ctrl-j to access) allows the disassembled
text to be highlighted for example to show all accesses to a certain
register. Regular expressions are allowed in this field
* The preferences window can be used to select which objdump to use
(which can also be controlled by the OBJDUMP environment variable).
Colors can also be selected in this window.
