cgasm

About

cgasm is a standalone, offline terminal-based tool with no dependencies that gives me x86 assembly documentation. It is pronounced "SeekAzzem".

Installation

You should follow the instructions to install Go, if you haven't already done so. Then:

$ go get github.com/bnagy/cgasm

The binary is standalone - it's statically linked and the data is compiled in. You can cross compile this to any architecture that go supports.

Usage

What was that AES thing...?

velleity:~ ben$ cgasm -f aes
Fuzzy matches for "aes" (12):
AESENC - Perform One Round of an AES Encryption Flow
VAESIMC -> AESIMC - Perform the AES InvMixColumn Transformation
AESKEYGENASSIST - AES Round Key Generation Assist
AESIMC - Perform the AES InvMixColumn Transformation
VAESDECLAST -> AESDECLAST - Perform Last Round of an AES Decryption Flow
AESDEC - Perform One Round of an AES Decryption Flow
VAESENC -> AESENC - Perform One Round of an AES Encryption Flow
VAESDEC -> AESDEC - Perform One Round of an AES Decryption Flow
VAESENCLAST -> AESENCLAST - Perform Last Round of an AES Encryption Flow
AESENCLAST - Perform Last Round of an AES Encryption Flow
VAESKEYGENASSIST -> AESKEYGENASSIST - AES Round Key Generation Assist
AESDECLAST - Perform Last Round of an AES Decryption Flow

Default output is a summary

AESENC - Perform One Round of an AES Encryption Flow

Description:
This instruction performs a single round of an AES encryption flow using a round
key from the second source operand, operating on 128-bit data (state) from the
first source operand, and store the result in the destination operand. Use the
AESENC instruction for all but the last encryption rounds. For the last encryption
round, use the AESENCCLAST instruction. 128-bit Legacy SSE version: The first
source operand and the destination operand are the same and must be an XMM register.
The second source operand can be an XMM register or a 128-bit memory location.
Bits (VLMAX1:128) of the corresponding YMM destination register remain unchanged.
VEX.128 encoded version: The first source operand and the destination operand
are XMM registers. The second source operand can be an XMM register or a 128-bit
memory location. Bits (VLMAX-1:128) of the destination YMM register are zeroed.

Or go full nerd
