Radare2 tips
############
Data
----
``iz``, ``izz`` - list nil-terminated strings.
``px <size> @<offset>`` - hexdump ``<size>`` bytes at ``<offset>``. If you want
to use address from a register, you can refer to it as ``@reg``. [#px-for-registers]_
Example usage:
.. code-block::
:> px 4 @esp
- offset - 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F 0123456789ABCDEF
0xffd5df4c 7860 5656 x`VV
:> px 4 @esp+4
- offset - 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F 0123456789ABCDEF
0xffd5df50 0a00 0000 ....
:> px 4 @esp-4
- offset - 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F 0123456789ABCDEF
0xffd5df48 0090 5656 ..VV
``wao <asm-instr>`` - Write Assembly Opcode, change the opcode of current instruction.
``wao nocj`` - change opcode of conditional jump at the current offset to be nonconditional.
``wai <instruction>`` - Write Assembly Instruction - literally write any full assembly instruction instead of current instruction, if it would fit, of course. If new instruction is shorter, then NOPs are added.
``w 'string'``, ``w 'a'`` - overWrite inplace a string or a single letter.
``wx FFAA00`` - overWrite sequence of heX tetrads. Spaces are ignored.
``wx <hex-seq>`` - Overwrites high tetrad of byte to be ``F``, so, e.g. byte ``00`` becomes ``F0``.
``wx FFF`` - Overwrites first byte and high tetrad of second byte to be ``F``, so, e.g. sequence ``12 34`` becomes ``FF F4``.
``/ <string>`` - Search for a string. Note that space is mandatory.
Functions
---------
``afl`` - list functions.
``afx`` - show current function references.
``afn`` - rename function.
``axt`` - xrefs to.
``axf`` - xrefs from.
Press ``v`` in capital-V-mode to bring up the list of functions.
``pdd`` - print decompiled code. Requires installing ``r2dec`` [#r2dec]_
``afv-*``, ``afv-[name]`` - remove annoying variables and args aliases automatically declared at the beginning of the function.
``afva`` - get variables and args aliases back.
While reversing SMD (Sega MegaDrive ROM) there may be a crap ton of lables
defined over first address (0x200) due to all addresses in IVT are set to 0x200.
Here are some tips about this:
- ``f sym.shit`` - define new shitty label (flag) you don't need. The ``sym.``
prefix is optional, it is just what r2 uses for creating the shit.
- ``f- sym.*`` - remove all these shitty lables (flags) you don't need. These
without the ``sym.`` prefix are actually OK and are not irritating at all,
they are rather useful. Note: labels are removed globally, not only for
current address.
While reversing ARM Cortex-M (thumb2) binaries, especially ELF binaries without
symbols, the asm.bits is always 32 and running ``e asm.bits=16`` does not change
anything. To fix this one must use ``ahb 16``:
- ``ahb 16`` set bitness to 16 (useful for ARM thumb) [#asmbits16]_
Project
-------
``Ps`` - save project.
``$ r2 -p <projectname>`` - open a project from shell.
Visual (capital-V-mode) and moving around
-----------------------------------------
Press ``C`` - rotate no color/terminal colorscheme/truecolor colorscheme.
Press ``R`` - random truecolor coloscheme.
Press ``v`` - bring up the list of functions.
``ecd`` - set default truecolor coloscheme (reset colorscheme).
Press ENTER to follow jump
Press ``u``/``U`` - undo/redo seek or jump following.
Confusing abbreviations and words
-----------------------------------------
``nbbs`` may stand for `number of basic blocks`. Found in ``aflj`` command
output.
``cc`` stands for `calling convention`. Found in ``aflj`` command output, may be
set via ``e anal.cc``.
