Rappel is a Linux-based interactive assembly REPL that runs instructions by rewriting and executing a child process's .text section under ptrace, displaying register and flag states after each step. It supports x86, amd64, armv7, and armv8/aarch64 architectures.

Use cases

  • experiment with x86 assembly instructions interactively
  • check how an instruction affects CPU registers and flags
  • learn assembly language by typing instructions and seeing results
  • test single assembly instructions in a pipe for scripting
  • explore amd64 and ARM instruction behavior on Linux

When to choose

  • you want a quick interactive way to try assembly instructions on Linux
  • you need to see register and flag effects of individual instructions
  • you are learning or teaching x86 or ARM assembly

When to avoid

  • you need a full debugger with breakpoints and memory inspection
  • you are on Windows or macOS
  • you need Thumb mode support on ARM
  • your kernel uses grsecurity PAX_MPROTECT, which breaks ptrace-based memory writes
