goblin
A cross-platform, zero-copy binary parsing crate for ELF, Mach-O, PE, and archive formats, written in Rust.
What is goblin?
libgoblin is a Rust crate for parsing binary file formats like ELF, Mach-O, PE, and Unix/BSD archives. It provides zero-copy, endian-aware struct definitions and parsers, enabling efficient analysis and manipulation of executable files without unnecessary data copying. The crate supports both 32-bit and 64-bit variants and can operate in `no_std` environments.
Systems programmers, compiler developers, and security researchers working on binary analysis, kernel development, cross-platform tooling, or low-level systems where efficient parsing of executable formats is required.
Developers choose libgoblin for its zero-copy efficiency, comprehensive format support, and configurability. It eliminates the need for manual parsing or platform-specific code, offering a robust, fuzzed foundation for binary-related projects in Rust.
