Cutter is a free and open-source graphical reverse engineering platform built on top of the Rizin framework, a Unix-friendly command-line toolkit for analyzing, disassembling, and debugging binaries. It offers advanced visualization, graphing, plugin support (Python and C++), and integration with decompilers like Ghidra's.
Use cases
- analyze and disassemble stripped binaries
- reverse engineer malware in a gui
- debug native binaries cross-platform
- decompile binaries with ghidra integration
- explore binary control flow graphs visually
- run scripted binary analysis from the command line
- identify library functions with flirt signatures
When to choose
- you want a free, open-source alternative to IDA Pro with a modern GUI
- you need both a powerful CLI disassembler and a graphical interface
- you want extensible reverse engineering via Python or C++ plugins
- you work across Linux, macOS, or Windows and need consistent tooling
When to avoid
- you need a lightweight hex editor only
- you require commercial support or official vendor licensing
- you depend on radare2-specific scripts without rizin compatibility
