RIZIN(1) General Commands Manual RIZIN(1)

NAME

rizinAdvanced commandline hexadecimal editor, disassembler and debugger

SYNOPSIS

rizin [-ACdfLMnNqStuvwzX] [-P patch] [-p prj] [-a arch] [-b bits] [-i file] [-s addr] [-B baddr] [-m maddr] [-c cmd] [-e k=v] file|pid|-|--|=

DESCRIPTION

Rizin is a command-line reverse engineering framework designed to analyze and disassemble binary files. It provides various tools and features for analyzing and understanding the structure, behavior, and logic of executable files.

The options are:

--
Run rizin without opening any file
=
Equivalent of 'rizin malloc://512'
-
Read file from stdin
-=
Perform R=! command to run all commands remotely
-0
Print \x00 after initialization and after every command executed
-1
Redirect stderr to stdout
-2
Close stderr file descriptor (silent warning messages)
-a arch
Set the assembly architecture (x86, ppc, arm, mips, bf, java, ...)
-A
Run 'aaa' command before prompt or patch to analyze all referenced code
-b bits
Set the assembly bitness (16, 32, 64)
-B baddr
Set the base address for Position-Independent Executables (PIE)
-c 'cmd..'
Execute the specified Rizin command
-C
Specify a file in the format "host:port" to run Rizin remotely through HTTP
-d
Debug the executable 'file' or running process 'pid'
-D backend
Enable debug mode, setting the configuration variable 'cfg.debug=true'
-e k=v
Evaluate the specified configuration variable
-f
Set block size to be equal to file size
-F binplugin
Force the use of a specific rbin plugin
-h, -hh
Show help messages, with -hh showing detailed help
-H [var]
Print information about installation paths and configuration settings. This option is useful for obtaining details about the installation location, directories, and various components of Rizin.
-i file
Run the commands from the script file
-I file
Run script file before the file is loaded
-k OS/kern
Set the assembly operating system
-l lib
Load the specified plugin file
-L
List supported IO plugins
-m addr
Map file at given address
-M
Disable demangling
-n, -nn
Control loading of RzBin info, with -nn only loading binary structures
-N
Disables loading user settings from the rizinrc file (check the RZ_CONFIGHOME value in the rizin -H output).
-NN
Disable loading any scripts or plugins
-q
Quiet mode, suppresses prompt and quits after script execution
-qq
Quit before showing the prompt. Right after all the -e -c and -i arguments are evaluated.
-p prj
Set project file
-r rz-run
Specify dbg.profile rz-run profile to use when spawning a program for debugging
-R rule
Specify custom rz-run directives without having to create a rz-run profile
-s addr
Start seeking at this address
-T
Avoid computing the file hashes
-u
Set bin.filter=false to load rbin info without filtering names
-v
Show version information and exit. Use -qv to get just the version number.
-V
Show rizin library versions
-w
Open in write mode
-x
Open the file without the execute flag
-X
Same as -e bin.usextr=false, do not use extract plugins, useful for dyldcache
-z, -zz
Do not load strings or load them even in raw

ENVIRONMENT

ANSICON
W & H of the buffer and w & h of the window in the form of: "WxH (wxh)"
DEBUGINFOD_URLS
Use alternative debuginfod server via bin.dbginfo.debuginfod_urls
COLUMNS
Terminal columns to use
RZ_ABORTLEVEL
Target log level/severity when to abort (0:DEBUG, 1:VERBOSE, 2:INFO, 3:WARN, 4:ERROR, 5:FATAL)
RZ_CURL
Whether to use curl (for SSL support)
RZ_DEBUG_ASSERT
Set a breakpoint when hitting an assert
RZ_DEBUG_TOOL
Debug tool to use when showing error messages and crash signal
RZ_DYLDCACHE_FILTER
dyld cache filter (MacOS dynamic libraries location(s) at runtime)
RZ_HTTP_AUTHFILE
HTTP Authentification user file
RZ_LOGCOLORS
Should the log output use colors
RZ_LOGFILE
Logging output filename/path
RZ_LOGLEVEL
Target log level/severity (0:DEBUG, 1:VERBOSE, 2:INFO, 3:WARN, 4:ERROR, 5:FATAL)
RZ_LOGSHOWSOURCES
Should the log output contain src info (filename:lineno)
RZ_PIPE_IN
rzpipe cmd input (file descriptor)
RZ_PIPE_OUT
rzpipe cmd output (file descriptor)
RZ_PREFIX
Default prefix rizin was compiled for
RZ_RCFILE
User config file
SFLIBPATH
SFLib syscall library path

EXAMPLES

Start rizin in analysis mode (-A) on the /bin/ls executable:

rizin -A /bin/ls

Open the file /bin/ls in write mode, allowing you to make changes to the binary:

rizin -w /bin/ls

Start rizin's debugger (-d) on /bin/ls and pass arguments "-l" and "/tmp" to the program for debugging:

rizin -d /bin/ls -l /tmp
