LOCAL FIRST & TRANSPARENT

Linux apps shouldn't be black boxes.

Dissect-Ubuntu gives you a clear view of what is inside the applications you run.

Inspect

Explore application structure, bundled files, binary components, and runtime shared libraries with precision.

Understand

See what an application contains without digging through directories manually or extracting packages with custom scripts.

Stay Local

Analysis happens completely on your machine. Your binaries, scripts, and internal files never leave your computer.

CORE CAPABILITIES

Built for people who want to look closer.

An inspection utility crafted for Linux developers, system engineers, and security-conscious users.

Application Inspection

Inspect local Linux applications, standalone AppImages, Debian packages (.deb), Flatpaks, and raw system executables.

File Structure

Explore bundled files and directory trees in a clean, visual hierarchy with byte breakdowns and MIME type detection.

Metadata & Technical Specs

View useful application metadata, desktop entry keys, runtime dependencies, architecture flags, and permissions.

Local Processing

Analysis executes strictly on your local CPU. No external daemons, no network payloads, and zero external latency.

Fast

Engineered to feel instant even when reading multi-gigabyte workstation applications and deep directory structures.

Developer Friendly

Built specifically for developers, Linux enthusiasts, sysadmins, and curious power users who value inspectability.

Export

Allow users to export inspection results, component manifests, and file trees to structured JSON or plain text.

Privacy First

No upload pipeline. No account required. No analytics trackers or telemetry scripts embedded anywhere.

INSPECTION PIPELINE

Three steps. No digging.

From raw package file to full architectural clarity in seconds.

01
OPEN

Choose an application

Select an AppImage, Debian package (.deb), or local binary from your file system.

LOCAL PRIVACY GUARANTEE

Your files stay on your machine.

Dissect-Ubuntu is designed around local processing. Your applications don't need to leave your computer just to understand what's inside them.

LOCAL PROCESSING

Every byte, archive partition, and header is parsed directly in memory using your local CPU without staging files to any temporary cloud.

NO ACCOUNT

No login prompt. No email gating. No license validation servers. Launch the executable and start inspecting immediately.

NO CLOUD UPLOADS

Zero network requests are made during analysis. Works flawlessly in completely air-gapped workstations and secure offline environments.
