Support radare2/Cutter #3

Open XVilka opened 4 years ago

XVilka commented 4 years ago

Ghidra is not the only free and open source reverse engineering tool available. Another popular one is Radare2, a highly-portable cross-platform reverse engineering framework and a toolkit without dependencies. It has support for analyzing binaries, disassembling code, debugging programs, attaching to remote GDB/LLDB, WinDbg servers, rich plugin system (see r2pm), and integration with various decompilers. For example, ghidra decompiler plugin - r2ghidra-dec. It is actively developed and can be easily integrated in various open source and commercial products. I believe, it will be highly beneficial to support these and provide a package for install from r2pm, see the package repository here: https://github.com/radareorg/radare2-pm

Cutter is a crossplatform Qt/C++ GUI frontend to radare2:

For documentation on writing plugins for Cutter see the official tutorial and the curated list of various popular plugins.

With the support of Binary Ninja and Radare2/Cutter, plus existing IDA Pro and Ghidra, you will cover most of the usage cases for heterogeneous teams.

Sorry to say this, but in our disassembler benchmark, radare2 performed the worst. Thus, integrating Polypyus into other disassemblers will have higher priority.

Please let us know what can be fixed from our side. Thank you!

This are the disassembler benchmarks I made for the CYW20735 firmware. If you have any recommendations which arguments to provide to radare2 to improve this, please let me know.
