Description
[Rizin](https://github.com/rizinorg/rizin) is a highly-portable cross-platform reverse engineering framework and a toolkit. It has support for analyzing binaries, disassembling code, debugging programs, attaching to remote GDB/LLDB, WinDbg servers, rich plugin system (see `rz-pm`), and integration with various decompilers. For example, Ghidra decompiler plugin - [rz-ghidra](https://github.com/rizinorg/rz-ghidra). It is actively developed and can be easily integrated in various open source and commercial products. I believe, it will be highly beneficial to support these and provide a package for install from `rz-pm`, see the package repository here: [rz-pm-db](https://github.com/rizinorg/rz-pm-db).
For integration with Python we have native bindings via the [rz-bindgen](https://github.com/rizinorg/rz-bindgen): https://rizin.re/posts/gsoc-2022-rz-bindgen/
[Cutter](https://cutter.re/) is a crossplatform Qt/C++ GUI frontend to Rizin:
After Ghidra it's the second most popular FOSS reverse engineering tool and the most popular native one.
For documentation on writing plugins for Cutter see [the official tutorial](https://cutter.re/docs/plugins.html) and the [curated list](https://github.com/rizinorg/cutter-plugins) of various popular plugins.
