dba8a31978 feat(elf): inspect Linux kernel module metadata (#7010)
* feat(elf): inspect Linux kernel module metadata

Adds inspect-kernel-module and inspect_kernel_module for ELF32/ELF64
ET_REL Linux kernel modules, read statically without executing them.
Reports ordered .modinfo entries with duplicates preserved, __versions
symbol CRCs, the presence of .gnu.linkonce.this_module and __ksymtab,
.init.text and .exit.text sizes, and an appended module signature
trailer with its PKCS#7 byte range and SHA-256. gzip, xz and zstd
containers are reported unsupported with external decompression as the
next probe. Malformed headers and exhausted entry budgets return no
partial success.

* fix(elf): bound kernel module ksymtab listing and tighten contracts

Charge listed __ksymtab* sections against max_entries, omit section names
longer than 256 bytes with ksymtab_name_exceeds_limit, and aggregate the
non-file-backed limitation so repeated huge names cannot inflate Evidence.
Use fixedTupleSchema for the signature pad bytes with projection parity
tests, and assert the late-cancellation reason and retained observation.

Start with one command

npx rea-agents setup

Choose your agent, review the planned changes, and approve setup. Native binary analysis can use an existing Hopper, Ghidra, or IDA installation; static JavaScript analysis needs no native analysis engine.

For a first result from an extracted JavaScript application or ASAR:

npx -y rea-agents@latest analyze-javascript-application /absolute/path/to/app --json

See installation and setup for requirements and configuration.

For runtime instrumentation, see the Frida guide.

For development, use testing, client verification, tool design, admission limits and recovery, and releasing. Reconstruction readiness describes a development conformance verifier. The 6.2 migration records that release's compatibility changes; the roadmap tracks future work.
