EverParse

Linux	Windows

EverParse is a framework for generating verified secure parsers from DSL format specification languages. It consists of LowParse, a verified combinator library (in src/lowparse), and QuackyDucky, an untrusted message format specification language compiler.

For more information, you can read:

• The EverParse project website and user manual, also available in the doc subdirectory of this repository as *.rst reStructuredText files.
• our Microsoft Research blog post
• our PLDI 2022 paper
• our USENIX Security 2019 paper.

Download

We publish binary packages for EverParse as GitHub releases: https://github.com/project-everest/everparse/releases

Build from source

Full build instructions, including how to install dependencies, are available at https://project-everest.github.io/everparse/build.html, or equivalently in doc/build.rst in this repository.

Container Images

Instead of downloading or building EverParse, if you are in a hurry, consider using a containerized build instead, via a Docker image for Everest.

Indeed, EverParse is part of Project Everest. Everest CI maintains up-to-date Docker Images on Docker Hub for Linux. Those Docker images include a fully built and tested EverParse in the quackyducky subdirectory.
