4 use cases

  • Trace network input to dangerous sinks in a binary

    Find functions reachable from network reads that feed risky command or sink calls.

    View prompt
    In the Ablation repo at ~/ablation, use the Network Sink Finder and Sink Arg Classifier on <binary path>, then trace taint from network sources to each reachable sink. Output a table of sink address, argument class, and taint path. Verify that every listed path has a callgraph edge chain from a recv, read, fgets, or accept call before you report it.

  • Scan an x86-64 ELF for heap and format string bugs

    Flag allocation overflows, use-after-free, and unsafe printf-family format arguments.

    View prompt
    Using the Ablation repo at ~/ablation, run the Heap Vulnerability Scanner and Format String Scanner on <binary path>, which is an x86-64 ELF. Output a grouped list of findings with function name, address, and finding type. Verify that each finding names the specific call site and that heuristic results are labeled as heuristics.

  • Map entry points and sinks in a source repository

    Rank source files, map entry points, and trace risky sinks for a code audit.

    View prompt
    Using the Ablation repo at ~/ablation, audit the source repository at <repo path>. Produce a ranked file list, a table of entry points and sinks, and a coverage summary of reviewed versus unreviewed files. Verify that every listed sink has a traced path from an entry point, or is marked as untraced.

  • Reuse confirmed findings on a new binary

    Replay stored finding descriptions and successful queries against a later target.

    View prompt
    In the Ablation repo at ~/ablation, replay the stored confirmed finding descriptions and successful semantic queries against <new binary path>. Output each candidate match with the source finding it came from and a similarity note. Verify that every candidate is checked in the disassembly before it is reported as a finding.

How to use Ablation

  1. Check you have what it needs: A local clone of the Ablation repository at ~/ablation, as the README's launch step assumes; Claude Code or Codex installed and signed in with model access; A binary, firmware image, or source repository you are authorized to analyze.
  2. Open Ablation-Tool/ablation on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Run cd ~/ablation && claude to start a Claude Code session in the repo.
  4. Run /model claude-sonnet-4-6 inside the session to select the model.
  5. Run /goal reverse engineer [whatever you want], replacing the bracketed text with the goal: find network-reachable sinks in <binary path>.
  6. Ask the agent to run the Network Sink Finder, then the Sink Arg Classifier, on the same binary.

These steps come from our top use case, Trace network input to dangerous sinks in a binary, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
