Expand description
iced-x86 is a blazing fast and correct x86 (16/32/64-bit) instruction decoder, disassembler and assembler written in Rust.
- 👍 Supports all Intel and AMD instructions
- 👍 Correct: All instructions are tested and iced has been tested against other disassemblers/assemblers (xed, gas, objdump, masm, dumpbin, nasm, ndisasm) and fuzzed
- 👍 100% Rust code
- 👍 The formatter supports masm, nasm, gas (AT&T), Intel (XED) and there are many options to customize the output
- 👍 Blazing fast: Decodes >250 MB/s and decode+format >130 MB/s (see here)
- 👍 Small decoded instructions, only 40 bytes and the decoder doesn’t allocate any memory
- 👍 Create instructions with code assembler, eg.
asm.mov(eax, edx)
- 👍 The encoder can be used to re-encode decoded instructions at any address
- 👍 API to get instruction info, eg. read/written registers, memory and rflags bits; CPUID feature flag, control flow info, etc
- 👍 Supports
#![no_std]
andWebAssembly
- 👍 Supports
rustc
1.57.0
or later - 👍 Few dependencies (
lazy_static
) - 👍 License: MIT
Usage
Add this to your Cargo.toml
:
[dependencies]
iced-x86 = "1.17.0"
Or to customize which features to use:
[dependencies.iced-x86]
version = "1.17.0"
default-features = false
features = ["std", "decoder", "masm"]
Crate feature flags
You can enable/disable these in your Cargo.toml
file.

instead of using the more verboseInstruction::with*()
methods.serde

How-tos
- Disassemble (decode and format instructions)
- Assemble instructions
- Disassemble with a symbol resolver
- Disassemble with colorized text
- Move code in memory (eg. hook a function)
- Get instruction info, eg. read/written regs/mem, control flow info, etc
- Get the virtual address of a memory operand
- Disassemble old/deprecated CPU instructions
- Disassemble as fast as possible
- Create and encode instructions
Disassemble (decode and format instructions)
This example uses a Decoder
and one of the Formatter
s to decode and format the code,
eg. GasFormatter
, IntelFormatter
, MasmFormatter
, NasmFormatter
, SpecializedFormatter<TraitOptions>
(or FastFormatter
).
use iced_x86::{Decoder, DecoderOptions, Formatter, Instruction, NasmFormatter};

Assemble instructions
This allows you to easily create instructions (eg. a.xor(eax, ecx)?
) without having to use the more verbose Instruction::with*()
functions.
This requires the code_asm

Move code in memory (eg. hook a function)
Uses instruction info API and the encoder to patch a function to jump to the programmer’s function.
use iced_x86::{
BlockEncoder, BlockEncoderOptions, Code, Decoder, DecoderOptions, FlowControl, Formatter,
IcedError, Instruction, InstructionBlock, NasmFormatter, OpKind,
};
// Decodes instructions from some address, then encodes them starting at some
// other address. This can be used to hook a function. You decode enough instructions
// until you have enough bytes to add a JMP instruction that jumps to your code.
// Your code will then conditionally jump to the original code that you re-encoded.
//
// This code uses the BlockEncoder which will help with some things, eg. converting
// short branches to longer branches if the target is too far away.
//
// 64-bit mode also supports RIP relative addressing, but the encoder can't rewrite
// those to use a longer displacement. If any of the moved instructions have RIP
// relative addressing and it tries to access data too far away, the encoder will fail.
// The easiest solution is to use OS alloc functions that allocate memory close to the
// original code (+/-2GB).

Minimum supported rustc
version
iced-x86 supports rustc
1.57.0
or later.
This is checked in CI builds where the minimum supported version and the latest stable version are used to build the source code and run tests.
Bumping the minimum supported version of rustc
is considered a minor breaking change. The minor version of iced-x86 will be incremented.
