What is Octopus?
Octopus is a security analysis framework for WebAssembly modules and blockchain smart contracts, created by Patrick Ventuzelo. Note: the project repository was archived in March 2024 and is now read-only. Octopus provides an easy way to analyze closed-source WebAssembly modules and smart contract bytecode to understand their internal behaviors. It supports Bitcoin script, Ethereum (EVM bytecode and Ewasm), EOS, and NEO smart contracts, as well as standalone WebAssembly modules. Key features include a disassembler, control flow analysis (CFG generation), call flow analysis, IR conversion to Static Single Assignment (SSA), symbolic execution, and a JSON-RPC explorer client for communicating with blockchain platforms.
