Tool
Rizin
Command-line reverse-engineering framework that began as a fork of radare2. The rizin shell analyzes and disassembles binaries, debugs programs and works as a scriptable hex editor, while rz-* tools cover binary-format information, assembly, diffing, hashing, pattern search and FLIRT signatures. The README lists dozens of architectures, bytecode formats and file formats from ELF, PE and Mach-O to dyld caches and BIOS/UEFI images; rzpipe scripts it from Python, Rust, Go and other languages. Cutter is the separate GUI built on it.
