Abstraction

Executable file formats share common features like symbols, relocations, or entry-point. LIEF provides an abstraction on these features to deal with executable features regardless of their underlying format.

Enhanced API

Whilst the LIEF's core is written in C++, it exposes a C++11 interface with Python bindings. A subset of the API is also exposed in C.

Parse & Modify

LIEF enables, to some extent, to modify formats like adding new sections or changing the symbol's name. All the modifications are done without relying on a disassembler.
