SpectraBin (IBE): Interactive Binary Explorer
A sophisticated, native C++ reverse engineering platform designed for the comprehensive analysis, decompilation, and instrumentation of binary executables.
Executive Summary
IBE represents a high-complexity tool comparable in excellence and features to industry-standard tools like IDA Pro or Ghidra. It combines static analysis (disassembly, decompilation, control flow analysis) with dynamic capabilities (emulation, debugging) and collaborative features.

Component Deep-Dive
Core & Analysis
- Intermediate Representation (IR): Lifts native assembly into SimpleIR/MLIL/HLIL.
- Data Flow: Implements SSA and Value Set Analysis (VSA).
- FLOSS Deobfuscation: Advanced string recovery via emulative execution.
- Import Recon: Rebuild IAT from memory dumps for unpacking.
User Interface
- Qt5 Foundation: Highly interactive, multi-view interface.
- Graph View: CFG reconstruction with dispatcher detection.
- Theme Manager: Native CSS support (Dark, Cyberpunk, Matrix).
Mobile & Languages
