Installation

Ethersplay only supports Python >= 3.6.

Ensure that your Binary Ninja's Python library is set to Python 3.6+. You can change the ScriptingProvider in the Advanced Settings.

Install the dependencies:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Create a symbolic link to the Binary Ninja plugin folder. E.g., in macOS

cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Binary\ Ninja/plugins
ln -s <your_download_location>/ethersplay/ethersplay .

Ubuntu:

cd ~/.binaryninja/plugins
ln -s <your_download_location>/ethersplay/ethersplay .

How to Use

Ethersplay takes as input the evm bytecode in raw binary format.

To have the bytecode of a solidity file, use solc:

• solc --bin-runtime file.sol: to print the bytecode of the runtime part of the contract (for most of the cases).
• solc --bin file.sol: to print the initialisation bytecode of the contract (constructor),

Example using test.sol with following contents:

contract Test {
    uint256 value;
    function Test() {
        value = 5;
    }
    function set_value(uint256 v) {
        value = v;
    }
    function() payable {}
}

Run solidity to compile: solc --bin-runtime test.sol

solc prints the bytecode to stdout in the format below:

======= test.sol:Test =======
Binary of the runtime part:

Copy the ascii hex string, and then create a new file in Binary Ninja. Right-click and select Paste From -> Raw Hex. The output should look identical to the earlier example image. Save this file as test.evm and close it. Alternatively, paste the ascii hex string into a new text file, and run the utils/convert_bytecode.py on that file.

test.evm can now be loaded into Binary Ninja.

Note: The file must end in .evm to be recognized as an EVM bytecode binary file.
