(description
"Radare project started as a forensics tool, a scriptable commandline
hexadecimal editor able to open disk files, but later support for analyzing
binaries, disassembling code, debugging programs, attaching to remote gdb
servers, ...")
"Radare2 is a complete framework for reverse-engineering, debugging, and
analyzing binaries. It is composed of a set of small utilities that can be
used together or independently from the command line.
Radare2 is built around a scriptable disassembler and hexadecimal editor that
support a variety of executable formats for different processors and operating
systems, through multiple back ends for local and remote files and disk
images.
It can also compare (@dfn{diff}) binaries with graphs and extract information
like relocation symbols. It is able to deal with malformed binaries, making
it suitable for security research and analysis.")
