Cutter – graphical reverse engineering platform

Cutter is a graphical reverse engineering platform designed for analysing compiled binaries without needing to work solely from a command line.

It gives security researchers, malware analysts and developers a modern Qt-based workspace for exploring program structure, following code paths, inspecting low-level data, debugging programs and modifying binary contents.

This is free and open source software.

Key Features

  • Uses Rizin as the core analysis engine.
  • Offers linear disassembly, graph view, mini-graph navigation and binary searching.
  • Includes an integrated native Ghidra decompiler in Cutter release builds.
  • Provides a hex editor for viewing and modifying file contents.
  • Supports Python scripting, native C++ plugins and community extensions.
  • Includes tools for binary patching, emulation, remote debugging and kernel debugging.
  • Offers multiple themes and a theme editor for customizing the interface.
  • Cross-platform support – runs on Linux, macOS and Windows.
