Description

Would there be interest in a version of capa that runs entirely client-side in the browser? There would be some limitations such as only supporting the vivisect backend (no ida/binaryninja) and probably a bit slower than running locally on a system, but otherwise should work.

It could either be a separate site deployed like the explorer web page (https://mandiant.github.io/capa/explorer/) but under a different subfolder (e.g. https://mandiant.github.io/capa/web/), or integrated into the explorer web page by allowing users to select binaries instead of just json files.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing explorer web page and how it currently accepts JSON files. Compare the two proposed directions: a separate /web/ page or binary selection within the explorer. Done would be a client-side browser version using the vivisect backend, with the stated backend limitations understood and documented.
