Getting started

Install the client, activate a license key, add a model key, then point Crabware at a binary.

1. Install Crabware

Download the small CrabwareSetup.exe stub from the download page and run it. The stub fetches and installs the current release, then hands you to sign-in.

• Requirements: Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit.
• Sign in, then activate a Monthly, Annual, Lifetime, or administrator-issued testing key. See pricing for purchasable keys.

2. Activate your license key

Open Settings → License, paste the key shown after Creem checkout or delivered by email, and select Activate. Time-limited keys extend from the end of your current access; they do not renew automatically.

3. Add your model key

Crabware is bring-your-own-key: the price is the software, the inference is yours. Open Settings and paste an OpenAI-compatible API key from the provider of your choice. The assistant uses that key to reason over your target and to drive the analysis tools on your behalf.

4. Run your first analysis

Open a file you own or are authorized to analyze. Crabware loads it, maps its functions, strings, and cross-references, and you work with it in chat, in plain language, not a fixed menu of buttons.

• Ask what a function does and get a walked-through explanation.
• Find where a value, string, or import is used across the binary.
• Step through execution and inspect memory and registers live.
• The assistant can drive 40+ analysis tools for you, and remembers what it has learned as you go.
