"an advanced reverse-engineering platform"
How does a tool like this compare with a classical disassembler? Is it the same thing plus a GUI to navigate the code?
- moonchild 6y agoDepends on what you mean by 'classical disassembler'. In many circles, disassembler refers not to something like objdump, but to a complete reverse-engineering framework that has more advanced tools for examining and reversing binaries (which may or may not include a decompiler). Examples include ida, ghidra, binary ninja, hopper, and x64dbg; cutter is an opensource program with similar functionality to those.
- Aissen 6y agoA "classical disassembler" is like the unix tool cat. An reverse-engineering platform is like an IDE. Both have their use, but you wouldn't write code too much code with cat.
