Next release will be 5.5.2, current git is 5.5.0 and the [![latest packaged version(s)](https://repology.org/badge/latest-versions/radare2.svg)](https://repology.org/project/radare2/versions) See the [Release](https://github.com/radareorg/radare2/releases) downloads page.

r2 is a rewrite from scratch of radare. It provies a set of libraries, tools and
plugins to ease reverse engineering tasks.

The radare project started as a simple command-line hexadecimal editor focused on
forensics, over time more features were added to support a scriptable command-line
low level tool to edit from local hard drives, kernel memory, programs, remote gdb
servers and be able to analyze, emulate, debug, modify and disassemble any binary.

* Install r2 from **Git** (Clone the repo and run `sys/install.sh`) or use `pip install r2env`
* Read the [Official radare2 book](https://book.rada.re)
* [COMMUNITY.md](COMMUNITY.md) engagement
* [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) general rules
* [DEVELOPERS.md](DEVELOPERS.md) to improve r2 for your needs
* [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md) on vulnerability report instructions
* [USAGE.md](USAGE.md) for an introductory session
* [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md) instructions

```
git clone https://github.com/radareorg/radare2
radare2/sys/install.sh
```

# Plugins

Most of the plugins you need may be available in the stock r2 installation,
but you can find more in the [r2pm](https://github.com/radareorg/radare2-pm) package manager.

```
r2pm update          # initialize and update the package database
r2pm install [pkg]   # installs the package
```

Some of the most installed packages are:

* [radius](https://github.com/aemmitt-ns/radius) fast symbolic execution engine based on boolector and r2
* [r2ghidra](https://github.com/radareorg/r2ghidra) the native ghidra decompiler plugin: `pdg` command
* [esilsolve](https://github.com/radareorg/esilsolve) symbolic execution r2 plugin based on esil and z3
* [r2dec](https://github.com/wargio/r2dec-js) decompiler based on r2 written in js `pdd`
* [r2frida](https://github.com/nowsecure/r2frida) the frida io plugin `r2 frida://0`
