Raw Blame History

Radare2

Command line options

-L: List of supported IO plugins
-q: Exit after processing commands
-w: Write mode enabled
-i [file]: Interprets a r2 script
-A: Analyze executable at load time (xrefs, etc)
-n: Bare load. Do not load executable info as the entrypoint
-c 'cmds': Run r2 and execute commands (eg: r2 -wqc'wx 3c @ main')
-p [prj]: Creates a project for the file being analyzed (CC add a comment when opening a file as a project)
-: Opens r2 with the malloc plugin that gives a 512 bytes memory area to play with (size can be changed)
	Similar to r2 malloc://512

Configuration properties

They can be used in evaluations:? ${asm.tabs}

e: Returns configuration properties
e <property>: Checks a specific property:
	e asm.tabs => false
e <property>=<value>: Change property value
	e asm.arch=ppc
e? help about a configuration property
	e? cmd.stack

You will want to set your favourite options in ~/.radare2rc since every line there will be interpreted at the beginning of each session. Mine for reference:

# Show comments at right of disassembly if they fit in screen
e asm.cmtright=true

# Shows pseudocode in disassembly. Eg mov eax, str.ok = > eax = str.ok
e asm.pseudo = true

# Solarized theme
eco solarized

# Use UTF-8 to show cool arrows that do not look like crap :)
e scr.utf8 = true

There is an easier interface accessible from the Visual mode, just typing Ve

Basic Commands

Command syntax: [.][times][cmd][~grep][@[@iter]addr!size][|>pipe]

; Command chaining: x 3;s+3;pi 3;s+3;pxo 4;
| Pipe with shell commands: pd | less
! Run shell commands: !cat /etc/passwd
!! Escapes to shell, run command and pass output to radare buffer
Note: The double exclamation mark tells radare to skip the plugin list to find an IO plugin handling this command to launch it directly to the shell. A single one will walk through the io plugin list.
` Radare commands: wx `!ragg2 -i exec`
~ grep
~! grep -v
~[n] grep by columns afl~[0]
~:n grep by rows afl~:0

	pi~mov,eax  		  ; lines with mov or eax
	pi~mov&eax  		  ; lines with mov and eax
	pi~mov,eax:6  		  ; 6 first lines with mov or eax
	pd 20~call[0]:0       ; grep first column of the first row matching 'call'

.cmd Interprets command output

is* prints symbols
.is* interprets output and define the symbols in radare (normally they are already loaded if r2 was not invoked with -n)

.. repeats last commands (same as enter \n)
( Used to define and run macros
$ Used to define alias
$$: Resolves to current address
Offsets (@) are absolute, we can use for relative ones @ $$+4
? Evaluate expression

Note: | and & need to be escaped

?$? Help for variables used in expressions
$$: Here
$s: File size
$b: Block size
$l: Opcode length
$j: When $$ is at a jmp, $j is the address where we are going to jump to
$f: Same for jmp fail address
$m: Opcode memory reference (e.g. mov eax,[0x10] => 0x10)
??? Help for ? command
?i Takes input from stdin. Eg ?i username

?v 0x4141414a - 0x41414140  = 0xa

?l str: Returns the length of string
@@: Used for iterations

wx ff @@10 20 30      Writes ff at offsets 10, 20 and 30
wx ff @@`?s  1 10 2`  Writes ff at offsets 1, 2 and 3
wx 90 @@ sym.*        Writes a nop on every symbol

Positioning

s address: Move cursor to address or symbol
	s-5 (5 bytes backwards)
	s- undo seek
	s+ redo seek

Block size

The block size is the default view size for radare. All commands will work with this constraint, but you can always temporally change the block size just giving a numeric argument to the print commands for example (px 20)

b size: Change block size

JSON Output

Most of commands such as (i)nfo and (p)rint commands accept a j to print their output in json

[0x100000d78]> ij

Searching

/ bytes: Search bytes
	\x7fELF

Example: Searching function preludes:

push ebp
mov ebp, esp

Yara

Yara can also be used for detecting file signatures to determine compiler types, shellcodes, protections and more.

:yara scan

Zignatures

Zignatures are useful when dealing with stripped binaries. We can take a non-stripped binary, run zignatures on it and apply it to a different binary that was compiled statically with the same libraries.

zg <language> <output file>: Generate signatures
	eg: zg go go.z
Run the generated script to load signatures
	eg: . go.z
z: To show signatures loaded:

Zignatures are applied as comments:

r2-(pid2)> pd 35 @ 0x08049adb-10
|          0x08049adb   call fcn.0805b030
|             fcn.0805b030(unk, unk, unk, unk) ; sign.sign.b.sym.fmt.Println
|          0x08049ae0   add esp, 0xc
|          0x08049ae3   call fcn.08095580

Compare files

r2 -m 0xf0000 /etc/fstab	; Open source file
o /etc/issue  				; Open file2 at offset 0
o  							; List both files
cc offset: Diff by columns between current offset address and "offset"

Graphs

Basic block graphs

af: Load function metadata
ag $$ > a.dot: Dump basic block graph to file
ag $$ | xdot: Show current function basic block graph

Call graphs

af: Load function metadata
agc $$ > b.dot: Dump basic block graph to file

Convert .dot in .png

dot -Tpng -o /tmp/b.png b.dot

Generate graph for file:

radiff2 -g main crackme.bin crackme.bin > /tmp/a
xdot /tmp/a

Debugger

Start r2 in debugger mode. r2 will fork and attach

r2 -d [pid|cmd|ptrace] (if command contains spaces use quotes: r2 -d "ls /")

ptrace://pid (debug backend does not notice, only access to mapped memory)

To pass arguments:

r2 -d rarun2 program=pwn1 arg1=$(python exploit.py)

To pass stdin:

r2 -d rarun2 program=/bin/ls stdin=$(python exploit.py)

Commands

do: Reopen program
dp: Shows debugged process, child processes and threads
dc: Continue
dcu <address or symbol>: Continue until symbol (sets bp in address, continua until bp and remove bp)
dc[sfcp]: Continue until syscall(eg: write), fork, call, program address (To exit a library)
ds: Step in
dso: Step out
dss: Skip instruction
dr register=value: Change register value
dr(=)?: Show register values
db address: Sets a breakpoint at address
	db sym.main add breakpoint into sym.main
	db 0x804800 add breakpoint
	db -0x804800 remove breakpoint
dsi (conditional step): Eg: "dsi eax==3,ecx>0"
dbt: Shows backtrace
drr: Display in colors and words all the refs from registers or memory
dm: Shows memory map (* indicates current section)
	[0xb776c110]> dm
	sys 0x08048000 - 0x08062000 s r-x /usr/bin/ls
	sys 0x08062000 - 0x08064000 s rw- /usr/bin/ls
	sys 0xb776a000 - 0xb776b000 s r-x [vdso]
	sys 0xb776b000 * 0xb778b000 s r-x /usr/lib/ld-2.17.so
	sys 0xb778b000 - 0xb778d000 s rw- /usr/lib/ld-2.17.so
	sys 0xbfe5d000 - 0xbfe7e000 s rw- [stack]

To follow child processes in forks (set-follow-fork-mode in gdb)

dcf until a fork happen
then use dp to select what process you want to debug.
