Developed a core static analysis feature for the LLNL/Surfactant repository, focusing on extracting ELF binary dependencies directly from program headers. This work involved designing and implementing file parsing logic in Python, leveraging data structures to accurately capture shared library requirements for ELF files. By enabling automated extraction of dependencies, the feature supports improved packaging validation and dependency auditing workflows. The approach emphasized robust parsing and integration with existing analysis pipelines, laying the foundation for more comprehensive binary inspection tools. Throughout the project, the developer applied expertise in Python and file parsing to address challenges specific to ELF format analysis and dependency management.
