XRefer: The Gemini-Assisted Binary Navigator
- XRefer is a new tool that provides a persistent companion view to assist analysts in navigating and understanding binaries.
- At its core, XRefer offers two complementary navigation paradigms: Gemini-powered cluster analysis and a context-aware view.
- XRefer can optionally encode cluster information directly into IDA's interface by prefixing function names.
- XRefer provides unified search functionality across all artifact types directly within the function context table view.
- XRefer supports artifact exclusion to reduce noise when analyzing large, complex binaries.
- XRefer has a specialized Rust-specific language module that extracts strings and library usage information.
- XRefer has been primarily tested with Windows binaries.
- XRefer is now available as an open-source tool in Mandiant's GitHub repository.
- Immediate areas for future development include extending cluster analysis to include code submissions and adding support for other language modules.
- Special thanks to Genwei Jiang and Mustafa Nasser for their code contributions to XRefer and to Ana Martinez Gomez for including XRefer in the default FLARE-VM configuration.
