**elf** is a go package for parsing Executable and Linkable Format (ELF). This package is designed for static malware analysis and reverse engineering.

## Install

You can install the ```elf``` package and its dependencies using the ```go get``` command.

```sh

go get github.com/saferwall/elf

```

## Usage

```go

package main

import (

	"encoding/json"

	"fmt"

	"github.com/saferwall/elf"

)

func main() {

	p, err := elf.New("/bin/ls")

	defer p.CloseFile()

	if err != nil {

		panic(err)

	}

	err = p.Parse()

	if err != nil {

		panic(err)

	}

	jsonFile, err := p.DumpJSON()

	if err != nil {

		panic(err)

	}

	fmt.Println(jsonFile)

}

```
