Functrace is a tool that helps to analyze a binary file with dynamic instrumentation using DynamoRIO. These are some implemented features (based on DynamoRIO):
Setup
$ wget https://github.com/DynamoRIO/dynamorio/releases/download/release_7_0_0_rc1/DynamoRIO-Linux-7.0.0-RC1.tar.gz
$ tar xvzf DynamoRIO-Linux-7.0.0-RC1.tar.gz
Or
$ wget https://github.com/DynamoRIO/dynamorio/releases/download/cronbuild-7.91.18047/DynamoRIO-x86_64-Linux-7.91.18047-0.tar.gz
$ tar xvzf DynamoRIO-x86_64-Linux-7.91.18047-0.tar.gz
You can also clone and compile directly DynamoRIO:
$ git clone https://github.com/invictus1306/functrace
$ mkdir -p functrace/build
$ cd functrace/build
$ cmake .. -DDynamoRIO_DIR=/full_DR_path/cmake/
$ make -j4

Simple DEMO
Using Functrace
$ drrun -c libfunctrace.so -report_file report — target_program [args]
Options
The following [functrace](https://github.com/invictus1306/functrace) options are supported:
-disassembly-> disassemble all the functions
-disas_func function_name -> disassemble only the function function_name
-wrap_function function_name-> wrap the function function_name
-wrap_function_args num_args-> number of arguments of the wrapped function
-cbr-> remove the bb from the cache (in case of conditional jump)
-report_file file_name-> report file name (required)
-verbose-> verbose]
Simple Usage
Option -verbose
$ drrun -c libfunctrace.so -report_file report -verbose — target_program [args]
Option -Disassemby
$ drrun -c libfunctrace.so -report_file report -disassembly — target_program [args]
Option -Disas_Func
$ drrun -c libfunctrace.so -report_file report -disas_func name_function — target_program [args]
$ drrun -c libfunctrace.so -report_file report -wrap_function name_function -wrap_function_args num_args — target_program [args]
Option -CBR
$ drrun -c libfunctrace.so -report_file report -cbr — target_program [args]
