I read the binaryaudit post few days ago, and despite #radare2 winning the opensource reversing tools benchmark i was surprised that IDA was faster.. but didn’t really checked how they were running it until now 🤦♂️ so here i am once again sharing the same basic tips:
- do not install radare2 from debian, their package was updated 5 years ago 👉 use last release deb files or build from source
- do not use aaaa unless you dont care about time 👉 there are many specific analysis
- pdc is not a decompiler, it’s a pseudodisassembler 👉 use r2dec, decai or r2ghidra instead
