ROPgadget Tool

This tool lets you search your gadgets on your binaries to facilitate your ROP exploitation. ROPgadget supports ELF/PE/Mach-O/Raw formats on x86, x64, ARM, ARM64, PowerPC, SPARC, MIPS, RISC-V 64, and RISC-V Compressed architectures.

Install

The easiest way is installing ROPgadget from PyPi:

$ sudo apt install python3-pip
$ sudo -H python3 -m pip install ROPgadget
$ ROPgadget --help

Alternatively you can install ROPgadget from source. You have to install Capstone first.

For the Capstone's installation on nix machine:

$ sudo apt install python3-pip
$ sudo -H python3 -m pip install capstone

Capstone supports multi-platforms (windows, ios, android, cygwin...). For the cross-compilation, please refer to the https://github.com/capstone-engine/capstone/blob/master/COMPILE.TXT file.

After Capstone is installed, ROPgadget can be used as a standalone tool:

$ python3 ROPgadget.py --help

Or installed into the Python site-packages library, and executed from $PATH.

$ sudo -H python3 setup.py install
$ ROPgadget --help

  - PE
  - Mach-O
  - Raw

architectures supported:
  - x86
  - x86-64
  - ARM

How can I contribute ?

Add system gadgets for PPC, Sparc, ARM64 (Gadgets.addSYSGadgets()).
Support RISC-V 32-bit.
Handle bad bytes in data during ROP chain generation.
Manage big endian in Mach-O format like the ELF class.
Everything you think is cool :)
