Settings¶
UI¶
Binary Ninja provides various settings which are available via the [CMD/CTRL] , hotkey for User settings and the [CMD/CTRL] . hotkey for Resource settings which apply to the current BinaryView. These settings allow a wide variety of customization of the user interface and functional aspects of the analysis environment.
Several search keywords are available in the settings UI. Those include:
@default- Shows settings that are in the default scope@user- Shows only settings that the user has changed@project- Shows settings scoped to the current project@resource- Shows settings scoped to the current resource (for example if you used open-with-options and changed settings)@modified- Shows settings that are changed from their default values
There are several scopes available for settings:
- User Settings - Settings that apply globally and override the defaults. These settings are stored in
settings.jsonwithin the User Folder. - Project Settings - Settings which only apply if a project is opened. These settings are stored in
.binaryninja/settings.jsonwithin a Project Folder. Project Folders can exist anywhere except within the User Folder. These settings apply to all files contained in the Project Folder and override the default and user settings. In order to activate this feature, select the Project Settings tab and a clickable "Open Project" link will appear at the top right of the view. Clicking this will create.binaryninja/settings.jsonin the folder of the currently selected binary view. If it already exists, this link will be replaced with the path of the project folder. - Resource Settings - Settings which only apply to a specific BinaryView object within a file. These settings persist in a Binary Ninja Database (.bndb) database or ephemerally in a BinaryView object if a database does not yet exist for a file.
Tip
Both the Project and Resource tabs have a drop down indicator (▾) that can be clicked to select the project or resource whose settings you want to adjust.
All settings are uniquely identified with an identifier string. Identifiers are available in the settings UI via the context menu and are useful for finding settings using the search box and for programmatically interacting with settings.
Note: In order to facilitate reproducible analysis results, when opening a file for the first time, all of the analysis settings are automatically serialized into the Resource Setting scope. This prevents subsequent User and Project setting modifications from unintentionally changing existing analysis results.
