Description
When running capa
with both the vivisect
and IDA
backends via the CLI on the same binary, Vivisect successfully identifies AES-related functionality while the IDA backend fails to detect the same capabilities.
Additionally, when using the -d
flag, Vivisect extracts more features than IDA, which may contribute to the discrepancy in capability matches.
Steps to Reproduce
- Run
capa
on the same binary using both Vivisect and IDA backends:
capa -b vivisect path\to\binary -d
capa -b ida path\to\binary -d
- Observe the difference in AES-related matches and feature extraction between the two backends.
Expected behavior:
Both backends should ideally extract similar features and identify the same capabilities, especially common ones like AES encryption.
Actual behavior:
vivisect backend detects the following AES-related capabilities:
encrypt data using AES (2 matches)
namespace data-manipulation/encryption/aes
scope function
matches 0x180001614
0x18000209C
reference AES constants (2 matches)
namespace data-manipulation/encryption/aes
scope function
matches 0x180001614
0x18000209C
