Run Assembly x86 instantly without installing any IDEs or configuring environments. Our cloud-based Assembly x86 handles libraries, runtimes, and dependencies automatically so you can focus on writing code.
Whether you are studying algorithms in Assembly x86, practicing data structures in Assembly x86, or exploring functional programming, our tool provides real-time stdout/stderr feedback with interactive standard input support.
HCODX is a free online compiler and code runner: write code in your browser, execute it on a cloud sandbox, and interact with your program through a live terminal. Students use it for coursework and interview practice; developers use it to test snippets in 85+ languages without setting up a local environment.
Writing 32-bit x86 assembly with NASM, the Netwide Assembler, is the classic rite of passage in computer architecture and operating systems courses: you talk to Linux directly through int 0x80 software interrupts, manage registers like eax and ebx by hand, and see exactly what a CPU does with every instruction. NASM has been the standard open source assembler since the 1990s, with Intel syntax that most university materials and osdev tutorials use. Setting up an assembler, linker, and 32-bit libraries locally is genuinely fiddly, which is what this page removes: your source is assembled, linked, and executed in a real terminal, with syscall-driven output streaming back instantly.

int 0x80This environment serves computer architecture and systems courses where assignments require hand-written loops, register arithmetic, and direct Linux syscalls in 32-bit mode. Reverse engineers and CTF players practice reading and writing the int 0x80 calling convention that older binaries and shellcode examples still use. It is also useful for compiler students inspecting what their code generators should emit, and for anyone working through classic texts like 'Programming from the Ground Up' whose examples target exactly this NASM-on-Linux 32-bit setup. HCODX is a free online Assembly x86 editor, runner and interpreter — an IDE-grade compiler and playground to write and run code online, execute code with live output and live preview, no downloads or web server required.
Yes. Invoke sys_read by setting eax to 3, ebx to 0 for stdin, ecx to a buffer address in .bss, and edx to the byte count, then trigger int 0x80. Because the page provides a live terminal, the syscall blocks until you type, and the entered bytes land in your buffer including the newline.
Source is assembled by NASM producing 32-bit ELF objects and linked into an executable targeting the i386 Linux ABI, so int 0x80 syscall numbers from asm/unistd_32.h apply: 1 for exit, 3 for read, 4 for write. Use _start as your entry point since there is no C runtime wrapping main.
After your last instruction the CPU keeps executing whatever bytes follow in memory, which typically causes a segmentation fault. Always end with mov eax, 1 and int 0x80 to invoke sys_exit, passing the status code in ebx. This is the assembly equivalent of returning from main, and forgetting it is the single most common beginner crash.
