Radare2 - UNIX-like Reverse Engineering Framework And Command-Line Toolset

 

r2 is a rewrite from scratch of radare. It provies a set of libraries, tools and plugins to ease reverse engineering tasks.

The radare project started as a simple command-line hexadecimal editor focused on forensics, over time more features were added to support a scriptable command-line low level tool to edit from local hard drives, kernel memory, programs, remote gdb servers and be able to analyze, emulate, debug, modify and disassemble any binary.
