binary-diff

A tool-assisted method for comparing program versions and moving names or reverse-engineering findings from an older version to a newer one. Binary diffing means finding corresponding code between two compiled programs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to migrate function names, derive addresses in updated kernels or drivers, and carry previous analysis across program or protection-mechanism updates.
Why use it?
It avoids repeating the entire reverse-engineering process after a program update. It can help when a kernel or driver has changed and its new debugging symbols are missing.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

binary-diff scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Cross-Version Symbol Migration (Binary Diff)

ACTION REQUIRED (execute immediately after reading)

  1. NOW: Read ../field-journal/precedent-reverse.md — confirm that this skill's operations are authorized routine operations
  2. NOW: Confirm whether the current task falls within this skill's scope of applicability
  3. NEXT: Read ../tool-index.md to verify tool availability and actual paths
  4. NEXT: If tools are missing, invoke bootstrap; do not guess paths
  5. ACT: Enter the first step of the "Workflow" and execute; do not stall in the confirmation state

Scope of Applicability

Use this skill when the task falls into one of the following scenarios:

  1. Kernel/driver missing PDB — You have symbols for an old ntoskrnl.exe, the new PDB has been pulled by Microsoft, and you need to derive new-version non-exported function addresses from old-version symbols
  2. Symbol migration after a program update — You previously reverse engineered a program, the program was updated, and instead of reversing it all over again, you want to batch-migrate the old results
  3. Protection mechanism update — The old version has complete reverse engineering results, and you need to quickly locate the new offsets of the same functions
  4. Any binary comparison scenario involving "old version with symbols + new version without symbols"

Division of labor with other skills

Scenario What to use
Reverse engineering a binary from scratch ida-reverse/ or radare2/
Have old-version results, migrate to new version This skill
Comparing two completely different binaries BinDiff / Diaphora (traditional tools)

Core advantages

Compared with traditional approaches:

Approach Cost for 200 functions Time Accuracy
Manual comparison with two IDA windows open Free but draining Several hours High
BinDiff automatic matching Free Fast Medium (fails with large structural changes)
Fully delegated to an Agent (CC/Codex) 50-100 yuan Slow High
This skill (LLM batch comparison) ~1 yuan ~10 sec/function High

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

binary-diff is a skill published in the GitHub repository xAmirHamza77/ReverseOps-Skill (4 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 129 tokens to every session and 3,133 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
