Binary Ninja

The debugger got some real love in our latest update. Hardware breakpoints and conditional breakpoints have both landed, and the new debug adapters make things faster and more reliable across a range of workflows.

Tired of unzipping your password-protected malware samples just to analyze them? We've got you covered.

Our latest blog post covers Container Transforms and how Binja now handles nested binary formats with structure and provenance intact.

Read it here: https://binary.ninja/2026/03/31/container-transforms.html

Who needs containers? You do! If you reverse firmware, macho files, malware, or many other formats! Come see what's unlocked in Binary Ninja by this feature in our latest blog post from Brian:

T-10 minutes until the bots battle to find different bug classes, break keygens, decrypt strings, extract private keys, analyze malware, and win some games!

We'll be pitting agent vs agent, assistant vs assistant, using both local and remote models to see who comes out on top.

Featuring our multi-time guest, Tim Blazytko, this is one you won't want to miss! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBqBpaqecMA

Now available in the plugin manager.

Join @mr_phrazer@infosec.exchange with us on Thursday @4pm ET to pit machine versus machine!

We'll be comparing LLM options for both assisted and fully-automatic reverse engineering, including different CLI interfaces, MCP servers, plugins, and agents.

Get notified so you don't miss who comes out on top of reversing's biggest battle yet: https://www.youtube.com/live/TBqBpaqecMA

If you are at RE//verse, you can find the Binary Ninja Booth in the RE//fresh lounge! We will be running live demos and handing out Binja swag. Come say hey and sign the our banner! Not in Orlando this week? We will be streaming at 3 PM ET live from RE//verse: https://youtube.com/live/bW-oz1UVkCM?feature=share

Do you even lift? Because Glenn does -- and he'll walk you through the steps so you can get decompilation by implementing lifting for your customer architectures in Binary Ninja in part 2/3 of our architecture guide:

https://binary.ninja/2026/02/26/quark-platform-part-2.html

Want to get the best decompilation for your own architecture? Glenn's post shows how you can enable Binary Ninja to give you the best decompilation around. Part 1 covers the basics up to disassembly, assembly, and control-flow. Next week, part 2 covers lifting and our first decompilation results.

Going live now! Don't miss some fantastic demos by our RE//verse instructors! https://www.youtube.com/vector35/live

Connect with us on Friday 2/20 @ 3pm for some advanced exploitation! Brandon (teaching Firmware RE at RE//verse) has a spicy meshtastic bug from class for us to preview, then we'll continue with more advanced C++ reversing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0s7W3Wuipg

We're going live in just a few minutes! Join us to explore a couple new features! Including one from the API that we haven't yet looked at on stream... https://youtube.com/live/T4k2D-3z_SI

Command Palette is getting a serious upgrade in the upcoming Jotunheim release! Beyond actions, you can now search functions and symbols, types, strings, open tabs, and even project files, all from the keyboard. Read about it in our latest blog post: https://binary.ninja/2026/02/05/command-palette-updates.html

Join us today from 3-5pm ET to learn how to recognize and apply types to decompiled C++ that's using virtual functions, inheritance, and vtables. We'll recover missing parameters, apply types, clean up the decompilation, and everything else you need to get started reversing C++! https://youtube.com/live/QmsUmvHOjck

New blog post is live! Xusheng tears apart a tiny Linux binary that really does not want to be reversed. Malformed ELF headers, segment tricks, layered XOR and RC4, plus a bunch of Binary Ninja tricks along the way. Read it here: https://binary.ninja/2026/01/23/reversing-linux-anti-re.html

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the Binary Ninja team! Enjoy time with your family while we do the same. We'll be slower than normal with any customer support requests until the new year.

Interested in spending the summer at Vector 35 working on Binary Ninja? Our 2026 internship applications are currently open through January 15! Positions are in-person in Melbourne FL. Apply by emailing hiring@vector35.com. https://binary.ninja/students/internship-2026.html

We are teaming up with eShard on December 5th at 10am EST for a live demo that walks through the full PetyA workflow! We'll look at how the malware drops and maps its DLL into memory, how TTD recording captures the full execution, and how the Binary Ninja debugger ties into their trace tooling. Join us here: https://youtube.com/live/nzar2L4GUJ8

@angelthorns@social.treehouse.systems Yup! All our releases are themed from some SciFi/Fantasy works. Glad you got the reference!

You can now pull Ghidra databases straight into your workflow in Binary Ninja 5.2! Open a .gbf on its own, import Ghidra data into an existing session, or bring parts of a full project into a Binary Ninja project on Commercial and above. Mixed tool workflows get a lot easier and this update sets the stage for future export support. https://binary.ninja/2025/11/13/binary-ninja-5.2-io.html#ghidra-import

Binary Ninja 5.2 adds support for custom string formats and constant encodings. Instead of wrestling with odd or obfuscated values, you can teach Binja how they work and let the analysis reveal the real content anywhere it appears. This update lays the groundwork for more language aware features coming soon. https://binary.ninja/2025/11/13/binary-ninja-5.2-io.html#custom-strings--constants

Container support is finally here in Binary Ninja 5.2! You can browse nested formats like ZIP, IMG4, or CaRT right in memory with no manual extraction. When a container resolves to a single target, Binja can open it straight away. If there are multiple payloads, the new Container Browser lets you pick what to load. This all works with the Transform API, so you can extend it and add support for whatever formats you need. https://binary.ninja/2025/11/13/binary-ninja-5.2-io.html#container-support

Binary Ninja 5.2 brings initial bitfield support. You can now represent structure members with specific bit positions and widths, and Linear View will show them cleanly. Our debug info plugins like DWARF, PDB, and the built in SVD import all express bitfields now too. More analysis work is coming in a future update to help resolve common access patterns in Medium and High Level IL. https://binary.ninja/2025/11/13/binary-ninja-5.2-io.html#initial-bitfield-support

Free Candy anyone? Well, not quite free candy, but it might seem like it if you’re a user of the Free edition of Binary Ninja! In 5.2, we’re adding many new features from the paid versions to Free: Objective-C workflow, WARP plugin, DWARF Import and TTD support! https://binary.ninja/2025/11/13/binary-ninja-5.2-io.html#free-candy
