EVMole

This library extracts function selectors and arguments from Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) bytecode, even for unverified contracts.

• JavaScript, Rust and Python implementations
• Clean code with zero external dependencies (py & js)
• Faster and more accurate than other existing tools
• Tested on Solidity and Vyper compiled contracts

Usage

JavaScript

$ npm i evmole

import {functionArguments, functionSelectors} from 'evmole'
// Also supported: const e = require('evmole'); e.functionSelectors();

const code = '0x6080604052348015600e575f80fd5b50600436106030575f3560e01c80632125b65b146034578063b69ef8a8146044575b5f80fd5b6044603f3660046046565b505050565b005b5f805f606084860312156057575f80fd5b833563ffffffff811681146069575f80fd5b925060208401356001600160a01b03811681146083575f80fd5b915060408401356001600160e01b0381168114609d575f80fd5b80915050925092509256'
console.log( functionSelectors(code) )
// Output(list): [ '2125b65b', 'b69ef8a8' ]

console.log( functionArguments(code, '2125b65b') )
// Output(str): 'uint32,address,uint224'

Foundry

Foundy's cast uses the Rust implementation of EVMole

$ cast selectors $(cast code 0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2)
0x06fdde03	
0x095ea7b3	address,uint256
0x18160ddd	
0x23b872dd	address,address,uint256
...

$ cast selectors --resolve $(cast code 0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2)
0x06fdde03	                       	name()
0x095ea7b3	address,uint256        	approve(address,uint256)
0x18160ddd	                       	totalSupply()
0x23b872dd	address,address,uint256	transferFrom(address,address,uint256)

function arguments

Errors - when at least 1 argument is incorrect: (uint256,string) != (uint256,bytes); smaller is better

^(*): sevm and heimdall-rs are full decompilers, not limited to extracting function selectors

How it works

Short: Executes code with a custom EVM and traces CALLDATA usage.

Long: TODO
