Introduction
BinSync is a decompiler collaboration tool built on the Git versioning system to enable fined-grained reverse engineering collaboration regardless of decompiler. BinSync is built by mahaloz, the angr team, and the SEFCOM research lab. It’s also due in large part to its use by the Shellphish hacking team.
All good decompilers share common objects called Reverse Engineering Artifacts (REAs). These REAs are the center of BinSync’s syncing ability. Here are the supported REAs:
- Function headers (symbol, args, type)
- Stack Variables (symbol, type)
- Structs
- Enums
- Comments
Note: all types support user-created types like structs. In short, with BinSync you can track, manage, and sync changes you make in your decompiler with any decompiler supported by BinSync.

Supported Platforms
- IDA Pro: >= 8.4 (if you have an older version, use BinSync v4.10.1)
- Binary Ninja: >= 2.4
- angr-management: >= 9.0
- Ghidra: >= 10.1
All versions require Python >= 3.10 and Git installed on your system.
Decompiler Support Progress
Although we support the platforms in the earlier section, not every feature works in every decompiler. To see which features have yet to be implemented, read the decompilers section of the docs.
Scripting
For scripting please see Lib BinSync, which allows you to do all lifting and data manipulation in Python.
