Radare2 is a libre reverse engineering framework and command-line toolset for analyzing, disassembling, debugging, emulating, and modifying binaries. It supports scripting via an embedded JavaScript interpreter or r2pipe and runs on UNIX-like systems as well as Windows.
Use cases
- disassemble and analyze a binary
- reverse engineer malware
- debug a program locally or over gdb
- inspect and edit files as a hexadecimal editor
- analyze firmware or kernel memory
- script binary analysis tasks with r2pipe
When to choose
- you need a scriptable, terminal-driven reverse engineering toolset
- you want broad architecture and file format support for binary analysis
- you need disassembly, debugging, and forensics in one framework
When to avoid
- you prefer a polished graphical disassembler out of the box
- you only need high-level decompilation without learning a command language
