BinaryDoc, Binary code is the best Document

BinaryDoc generates Documents with rich diagrams from Binary files directly for Java.

This docker image needs to work together with mysql database with specified mysql.cnf configurations. An sample docker-compose.yml file has been provided.

Sample Diagrams in Generated documents:

• Control Flow Graph for Java method bytecode

• UML Sequence Diagram for Java method bytecode

• UML Hierarchy Diagram for Java Class

• Dependency Network diagram for Java package

• Jar,Jmod files Dependency Network Diagram (sfdp layout)

There are web sites containing the documentes and diagrams generated by BinaryDoc:

• BinaryDoc for OpenJDK
• BinaryDoc for Android
• BinaryDoc for Kotlin
• BinaryDoc for Groovy
• BinaryDoc for Scala
• BinaryDoc for Spring framework
• BinaryDoc for Apache Cassandra
• BinaryDoc for Apache Tomcat
• BinaryDoc for Eclipse Jetty

BinaryDoc Docker Compose User Guide

This is an sample docker compose setup for BinaryDoc, which generates Documents with rich diagrams from Binary files directly for Java.

• docker-compose.yml

Warning

• This docker compose setup is designed for none-production environment, better for evaluation or testing box
• It is using unsecure password by default

Hardware Requirement

BinaryDoc is a compute-intensive software which needs powerful hardware.

Here we list the suggested minimal hardware requirements:

• CPU: 8 or more threads
• RAM: 24 GB minimal, 64 GB is suggested for better performance, based on the size of the Java application to be parsed
• Disk type: SSD Drive is suggested, M.2 SSD or NVMe SSD are preferred
• Disk size: 20 GB or more avialbe disk space is suggested
  • The size is based on the binary data to be parsed.
  • Example: OpenJDK 11 binary data size is 387.9 MB, and the current corresponding DB size is 7 GB.

Steps

Customize the config files

• .env
  • Change the DB password (default=123456) when needed
  • Change the TCP ports when needed
• mysql.cnf
  • Change the settings based on current hardware RAM size, following the guide inside the mysql.cnf file

Start the Docker Instances

• sudo docker-compose up -d

Run the Parser for current OpenJDK for demo:

• sudo docker-compose exec binarydoc /opt/fuiny/binarydoc-parser/bin/run.sh 1
  • Note. the parser execution takes about 1 hour on M.2 SSD disk, and needs up to 24 GB RAM

Run the Parser for your application:

• Put your Java Application to be Parsed to the app-to-parse folder
  • Example: Copy the application .jmod or .jar files to this folder
• Start the parser
  • sudo docker-compose exec binarydoc /opt/fuiny/binarydoc-parser/bin/run.sh 2

Other commands

When we want to Delete Existing Docker Instances, and to Start over again

• sudo docker-compose down --rmi all && sudo rm -rf mysql-data/ apache2-log/

When we want login to the Running Docker container

• sudo docker exec -it binarydoc-docker_binarydoc_1 /bin/bash

TCP Ports Mapping

• We may change the ports 10180, 10190, 13306 in .env when necessary
