Rizin is a UNIX-like reverse engineering framework and command-line toolset for examining binaries, disassembling code, debugging programs, carrying out forensic analysis, and working with files from the terminal.
The project was born as a fork of radare2 and focuses on usability, features, and cleanliness while providing a broad collection of standalone utilities for binary analysis tasks.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Analyzes a wide range of executable and binary formats including ELF, Mach-O, PE, COFF, DEX, Java class files, WebAssembly binaries, firmware images, coredumps, minidumps, and game ROM formats.
- Supports many processor architectures including x86, ARM, RISC-V, PowerPC, MIPS, AVR, SPARC, System Z, SuperH, m68k, Z80, 6502, Xtensa, Hexagon, and WebAssembly bytecode.
- Includes command-line utilities such as rz-bin for binary information, rz-asm for assembling and disassembling, rz-diff for comparing binaries, rz-hash for hashing, and rz-find for pattern searches.
- Offers scripting access through rzpipe with support for languages including Python, Haskell, OCaml, Ruby, Rust, and Go.
- Cross-platform support – runs on Linux, BSD variants, macOS, Windows, Android, QNX, Solaris/Illumos, Haiku, GNU/Hurd, and other platforms.
