For users who don't want to compile the custom Griffin Linux kernel, ARCUS now supports interfacing with Linux Perf.

Support is currently experimental and may yield incomplete analysis results!

Perf Setup

If you have not already done so, install Linux Perf. For Debian:

sudo apt install linux-perf

Note: You may need to restart your system after installing.

Verify that you have installed Perf and it supports Intel PT:

$ perf list | grep intel
  intel_pt//                                         [Kernel PMU event]

Tracer (tools/angr/tracer.py) is the all-in-one program for tracing. Install its Python module requirements:

pip install -r tools/angr/requirements/tracer.txt

Note: You must run this command from the root directory of the repo.

You're ready to go!

Perf Tracing

Tracing with Perf works exactly like Griffin. Tracer will automatically pick the best available interface. See the Griffin Tracing document for more info on using Tracer.
