binary-diff

authentic

Cross-version binary symbol migration: diff updated binaries, recover function names without PDBs, and propagate annotations after software updates using BinDiff-style tooling.

When to use

• A program updated and old annotations/symbols must be migrated to the new build.
• Recovering changed functions between two versions of a stripped binary.

When not to use

• Diff quality degrades with heavy recompilation or obfuscation between versions.
• Requires local diff tooling (e.g., BinDiff, Diaphora, radiff2).
