OpenREIL

Dmytro Oleksiuk has a project called OpenREIL, an open source library and tools for Reverse Engineering Intermediate Language (REIL).

REIL was initially developed by Zynamics as part of their BinNavi framework, proprietary code analysis software written in Java. […] However, after Zynamics was acquired by Google they abandoned BinNavi, so, I decided to develop my own implementation of REIL. I made it relatively small and portable in comparison with original, the translator itself is just a single library written in C++, it can be statically linked with any program for static or dynamic code analysis. The higher level API of OpenREIL is written in Python, so, it can be easily utilized in plugins and scripts for your favourite reverse engineering tool (almost all modern debuggers and disassemblers has Python bindings). OpenREIL is not a 100% compatible with Zynamics REIL, it has the same ideology and basics, but there’s some changes in IR instruction set and representation of the traget hardware platform features.

Immunity: free Infiltrate tickets for improving BinNavi

Dave Aitel of Immunity has announced free tickets to Infiltrate for people who can improve the recently-opensourced BinNavi project:

INFILTRATE Contests: BINNAVI
Every year, from HackCup to various coding challenges, we like to think of unique ways you can join us at THE BEST SECURITY CONFERENCE here in Miami next April 7th and 8th. We are starting this year with two new contests now that BinNavi is Open Sourced: 1) If you and your friends add Capstone (or another disassembler/analyzer) to BinNavi, to remove the IDA requirement, then we will send you three free tickets to INFILTRATE 2016! 2) If you and your friends integrate a decompiler with BinNavi, then we will also send you three free tickets to INFILTRATE 2016! If you do both, you get six free tickets to INFILTRATE.

Google open sources BinNavi

https://github.com/google/binnavi

Google acquired Zynamics in 2011. Today, Google open sourced BinNavi, a GUI IDE for binary analysis! It is not fully open source, see the readme on github for details.
