In this course we will learn about the Radare2 reverse engineering framework. It is an open source free alternative to IDA Pro. I started to work with it because I think nobody will buy IDA Pro unless it is paid by your employer. Radare2 is a perfect free alternative, its only disadvantage is that it could be hard to start using it. This is where this course comes in. My goal was to get you over the hard part as fast as possible. So that you can get comfortable with Radare2.
These are the things you will learn in this course:
- Setting up Radare
- Understanding its syntax
- Understanding its config
- Information gathering about the binary
- Navigation in the binary
- Cross references
- Run-time debugging
- Patching the binary
However there are a few things that are not goals of this course:
- We are going to focus on the tool and not on assembly, so this is not an assembly course. You can follow along without understanding everything in assembly and that is fine, but don’t expect that you can learn assembly in a few hours.
- We will learn some reverse engineering techniques but it is not our goal to learn everything.
However what you are definitely will learn is how to use Radare2, and after this course if you need to analyse a binary you will be able to pull out radare from your sleeves anytime you need it.
All exercises are hand-on, so you are expected to repeat the exercises yourself. I have done quite a lot of trainings myself, live or online, and I can tell you that without practicing they won't stick. This is a really practical training so I encourage you to try everything yourself, because just watching the videos will only give you the illusion that you learnt something, 80% of the learning happens when you do the exercises.
So enroll now and learn reversing with Radare2

I hack stuff for fun and profit, at the moment at Siemens AG in Germany. I was also an external consultant for various companies in insurance, banking, telco or even car production. When I have some free time I also talk at conferences.
Here my goal is to put my knowledge and experience in a form which is useful for others, to save you the time, which I spent to acquire all this knowledge from different sources.
