16.5.3 Graphing code with rsc

Sometimes you've to analize large blobs and you're not going to read in hex and assembly the entire file to understand globally what it does.

Or probably you're looking for a poster of your favorite binary program.

You can use the bin2tab/tab2gml or gdl2gml rsc scripts:

$ rsc bin2tab /bin/false | rsc tab2gml > false.gml

The GML files can be opened with yEd.

IDA generates a nice graphos of binaries, but they're in wingraph format and it's not possible to open these files (GDL) on non-w32 systems. So, you can convert them with gdl2gml and later use yEd in the same fashion:

$ cat my-ida-graph.gdl | rsc gdl2gml > my-ida-graph.gml
