Visualize Assembly using DGML

Starting from Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate there is a cool feature called DGML (Directed Graph Markup Language).

I wrote a small script to convert the disassembled code from WinDBG into a DGML.

In order to use it, simply type the following commands under a debug session:

.shell -o LoadLibraryA.dgml -ci "uf kernel32!LoadLibraryA" cscript.exe /nologo dasm2dgml.js

A DGML file will be generated with the given name, and here is what it looks like:

Here is the source code:

 var EBB = [];

var hypertext=function(s){
  var r=[],L=s.length;
  for(var i=0;i<L;i++){
    var c=s.charAt(i);
    switch(c){
      case '"':r.push('&quot;');break;
      case '&':r.push('&amp;');break;
      case '<':r.push('&lt;');break;
      case '>':r.push('&gt;');break;
      default:r.push(c);}}
  return r.join('');
};

var map=function(f,v){var L=v.length,r=[];for(var i=0;i<L;i++)r.push(f(v[i]));return r;};

(function(){
  var blk;

  var CExtendedBasicBlock = function(name, previous, next){
    this.Address = '';
    this.Code = [];
    this.Name = name;
    this.Previous = previous;
    this.Next = next;
  };

  while(true)
  {
    if(WScript.StdIn.AtEndOfStream)
      break;
    var strSourceLine = WScript.StdIn.ReadLine().replace(/(^\s+)|(\s+$)/g, '');
    if(!strSourceLine)
      continue;
    if(strSourceLine.match(/.*:$/))
    {

      EBB.push(blk);

      blk.Code.push(strSourceLine.replace(/[^\s]*\s+/, '').replace(/[^\s]*\s+/, ''));
    }
  }
})();

EBB = EBB.sort(function(x, y){ return x.Address == y.Address ? 0 : x.Address > y.Address ? 1 : -1; });
for(var i = 1; i < EBB.length; i++)
{

Notes:

1. This script cannot generate 100% accurate control flow diagram, you will have to do further analysis (e.g. jmp eax).
2. I haven't got a chance to test under WOA (ARM32), so I leave it as a homework for our readers.

Enjoy:)
