For those who - like me - expected to see a link to radare in the README, it is the set of reverse engineering tools for Linux. http://www.radare.org/r/

Links added! Thanks for the feedback.

I was trying to use radare2 some time ago when reverse engineering a printer driver. I couldn't grok it, so I gave up and just used `hd` and `grep`.

Have you checked out the cutter GUI (https://github.com/radareorg/cutter)? I found it helped a bit for me.

> Cutter is not aimed at existing radare2 users. It instead focuses on those whose are not yet radare2 users because of the learning curve, because they don't like CLI applications or because of the difficulty/instability of radare2.

That's what I was looking for. (I do like CLI applications though.)

Thanks.

Try ired from same author; scriptable hex editor than can, among other things, search hex or ascii strings and output offsets; can read input and commands from stdin.

What's `hd` in this context?

It's hexdump. It outputs a hexdump alongside ASCII rendering (when possible) of a file.

In Debian it's in the `bsdmainutils` package.

I found it very useful for doing the initial guess work about the binary printer control language I was looking at.
