I've seldomly tried #Rizin over the years but only after I switched to #Fedora early this year, I've really got into using it.

The stack is pretty well packaged, including #Cutter, in Fedora, which lowered the barrier. I hate to self-compile, everything must be low-hanging fruit unless I'm actually doing paid work :-)

I've also played with #Ghidra but the problem is that it does not fit to my workflow as well where everything else is a command-line tool.
But since I learned that I can use Ghidra's decompiler Rizin I get best possible reverse engineering for *my personal needs*. Also, one big thing in Rizin is out-of-the box RISC-V support.

I've also got into developing some tools with libcapstone disassembler Rust bindings, and a crate called Goblin. My ultimate goal here would be to automate the way i do analysis for kernel oops without using anything from scripts/, addr2line, gdb or objdump. Rizin is a great prototyping tool because it is also based on libcapstone.

For great tutorials on Rizin, I can warmly recommend this YouTube channel:

Tutorials are for #Radare2 but they apply equally to Rizin.

@jarkko you're using rizin, then you may be the one i'm looking for for years, a person that can explain how the heck rizin differs from radare.

@montar Not really. Please tell me if you hear. And please do not hit me, I'm just a random end user ;-)

EvenConsoleCowboys is wondering it in some episode of his Radare2 tut's WTF is this shit why there are two versions of this.

Fedora has Rizin and Cutter nicely packaged so I've randomly ended up using those.

@montar It is a mystery but people get upset and fork a lot these days.

Like I got EGLIBC fork from the past (despite I respect Ulrich Depper's amazing contributions to open source, cpumemory.pdf is still always at hand ;-)) but these days people in my opinion are way too sensitive and get upset way too easily.

I don't think Linux could have happened if world had worked like this 1991.
