Radare2 -commands for Reverse Engineering

 

 File and Binary Loading

  • r2 <binary>: Open a binary file.
  • r2 -d <binary>: Open a binary in debugging mode.

aaa

This is a shortcut for “analyze all." This command analyses our binary and looks for executable sections and looks for calls. when it finds a call, it looks for the destination of the call.

afl

Display all the functions in the code.

V

By pressing the capital letter V, show us all the different types of views the assembly view, graph views and the debugging view. Press the letter ‘p’ to navigate between the views.

  • pdf: Print the disassembled function where the current seek is.
  • pdr: Print function recursively (entire call graph).
  • af <address>: Analyze a specific function at <address>.
Navigation
  • s <address>: Seek to a specific address.
  • s - or s +: Move backward or forward.
  • s entry0: Seek to the program's entry point.
  • s sym.main: Seek to the main function (if symbols are present)

Disassembly and Debugging

  • pd 10: Disassemble 10 instructions from the current address.
  • px 32: Print 32 bytes in hex.
  • db <address>: Set a breakpoint at <address>.
  • dc: Continue execution.
  • ds: Step into the next instruction.
  • dso: Step over the next instruction.
  • dr: Display or modify registers (e.g., dr eax=0).

Searching

  • /c <string>: Search for a string.
  • /x <hex>: Search for a hexadecimal pattern.
  • /R <value>: Search for a specific value in memory.

Debugging in Visual Mode

  • V: Enter visual mode.
    • F2: Set a breakpoint.
    • F7: Step into.
    • F8: Step over.
    • F9: Continue execution

 Information

  • i: General information about the binary.
  • iI: Detailed imports information.
  • ii: List of imports.
  • is: List of symbols.
  • ic: List of classes (if the binary uses C++ or similar).

Bug Boundy Methodology, Tools & Resources

Start by defining a clear objective, such as exploiting a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability or bypassing authentication on your target. Then, consider how you can achieve this goal using various attack vectors like XSS, SSRF, or others - these are simply tools to help you reach your objective. Use the target as how a normal user would, while browsing keep these questions in mind: 1)How does the app pass data? 2)How/where does the app talk about users? 3)Does the app have multi-tenancy or user levels? 4)Does the app have a unique threat model? 5)Has there been past security research & vulnerabilities? 6)How does the app handle XSS, CSRF, and code injection?

Install & set up mitmweb or mitmproxy in Linux

Step 1: Go to the mitmproxy page and download the binaries. Step 2: Install the downloaded tar file with the command " tar -xzf <filename>.tar.gz " Step 3: In the FoxyProxy add the proxy 127.0.0.1:8080  and turn it on. Step 4 : In the terminal run command " ./mitmweb " Step 5: Go to the page  http://mitm.it/   and download the mitmproxy's Certificate. Step 6: If you downloaded the certificate for Firefox, then go to " settings -> Privacy & Security -> Click View Certificates -> Click  Import ", then import the certificate.  Step 7: Now you are ready to capture the web traffic. Step 8 : In terminal run " ./mitmweb"

pip error in Kali Linux: error: externally-managed-environment : SOLVED

 error: externally-managed-environment × This environment is externally managed ╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install     python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to     install.     If you wish to install a non-Kali-packaged Python package,     create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.     Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make     sure you have pypy3-venv installed.     If you wish to install a non-Kali-packaged Python application,     it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a     virtual environment for you.
