About:
Rizin is an open-source reverse engineering framework that supports detailed analysis of binaries across multiple architectures. It provides a rich set of commands for disassembly, debugging, and binary patching, making it a powerful alternative to industry-standard tools.
Key Features:
  • Multi-architecture disassembly and analysis
  • Scriptable with Python and JavaScript
  • Supports multiple file formats (ELF, PE, Mach-O, etc.)
  • Integrated debugger and binary patching
  • Active community and plugin ecosystem
Use Cases:
  • Malware analysis and unpacking
  • Vulnerability research and exploit development
  • Firmware analysis for embedded devices
  • Reverse engineering for software interoperability
Alternatives:
  • Ghidra – Ghidra offers a GUI-first approach with a powerful decompiler, while Rizin is more CLI-focused and lightweight.
  • radare2 – Rizin is a fork of radare2, aiming for a more modern codebase, better usability, and improved plugin support.
