elfcat - ELF visualizer. Generates HTML files from ELF binaries.

1. How do I install and use it?

$ cargo install elfcat
$ elfcat path/to/file

2. What does it look like?

This is what the following small example ELF file looks like:

http://ruslashev.github.io/elfcat/hello_world.html

Steps to create it:

$ cat hello_world.s
global _start

section .text
_start:
mov rax, 1
mov rdi, 1
mov rsi, msg
mov rdx, len
syscall

mov rax, 60
xor rdi, rdi
syscall

section .data
msg db "Hello, world!", 0xA
len equ $ - msg

$ cat link.ld
ENTRY(_start)

SECTIONS {
. = 0x10080; /* vm.mmap_min_addr + p_offset of first segment */

.text : {
* (.text)
}

.data : {
* (.data)
}
}

$ nasm hello_world.s -f elf64
$ ld hello_world.o -o hello_world -n -T link.ld
$ elfcat hello_world
$ xdg-open hello_world.html

3. Can I contribute?
