Binary parsers are ubiquitous in the software we use everyday, be it to interpret file formats or network protocol messages. However, parsers are usually fragile and are a common place for bugs and security vulnerabilities.

Over the years, several projects have been developed to try and solve the problem, using different forms such as parser combinators or domain-specific languages. To better understand this rich ecosystem and offer tools to compare the existing solutions, we initiated a platform to test and compare such tools against different specifications.

Our so-called "LangSec Platform", which is a work-in-progress, aims at providing a framework to implement various specifications using different tools, which allow us to compare the expressiveness, the robustness and the efficiency of the included parser generators.
