radare2 is a reverse engineering framework and binary analysis toolset. It functions as a multi-architecture disassembler, low-level binary debugger, and hexadecimal editor for inspecting executable structures and interpreting machine code when original source files are unavailable. The framework provides capabilities for decompiling machine instructions, performing symbolic analysis, and diffing binary files to identify structural changes across versions. It also includes a digital forensic analyzer and disk analyzer for browsing filesystem formats in userland. The toolset supports binary p
pwndbg is a GDB plugin and binary analysis framework designed for reverse engineering, exploit development, and low-level program analysis. It extends the core functionality of the debugger to provide advanced memory inspection and automation tools. The project distinguishes itself with specialized capabilities for heap analysis across glibc, jemalloc, and musl, as well as a comprehensive kernel debugging toolkit for inspecting Linux kernel tasks and slab allocators. It includes an integrated ROP gadget searcher for constructing exploit chains and an LLM-powered debugging assistant that provi
Blink is a JIT-based instruction emulator and x86-64 Linux emulator designed to run Linux binaries and ELF files across different host operating systems and architectures. It functions as a binary execution sandbox and system call simulator, providing a controlled environment for running programs. The project distinguishes itself with a terminal user interface for monitoring execution, managing breakpoints, and visualizing JIT compilation paths. It supports self-modifying code through a cache-invalidating memory model and provides execution environment isolation using restricted directory ove
Retdec is an LLVM-based machine code decompiler and static binary analysis tool designed for binary reverse engineering. It translates binary executable code into high-level representations to facilitate the reconstruction of program logic from compiled machine code. The system utilizes a retargetable frontend architecture and a multi-stage lifting pipeline to convert raw bytes into a common intermediate language. It differentiates custom program logic from known library code through signature-based identification and provides utilities for binary symbol demangling to restore human-readable n
