Radare2 Learning Note (0x01)

0x00 Introduction

Radare2 is a powerful reverse engineering tool for free. If you have a Kali OS, you can use it by default. But take care, the r2 version on kali might be 0.9.9, better to use versions newer than 1.2.0. You can check the version by $ r2 -v. 0.9.9 sometimes cannot reverse the code correctly when comparing to 1.2.0.
