## What it is
REDasm is an open-source disassembler and binary analysis tool with a native Qt6 GUI, supporting many CPU architectures and executable formats including retro and legacy binaries. It provides an interactive disassembly listing, control flow graphs, cross-references, string detection, and automatic function recovery, extensible via runtime-loaded plugins.

## Use cases
- disassemble a binary and explore its control flow graph
- reverse engineer an executable with no source code
- analyze retro DOS or Win16 binaries for software preservation
- find strings and cross-references in a compiled program
- recover functions automatically from a stripped binary

## When to avoid
- you need a debugger or dynamic analysis rather than static disassembly
- you require macOS or other platform support as a first-class target
- you prefer scriptable headless analysis over an interactive GUI

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: reverse-engineering, gui, plugin-system
- domain: reverse-engineering, security
- platform: windows, cpp
- tags: disassembler, binary-analysis, qt6, retro-computing, executable-formats, retrocomputing, linux
