r2-retdec

PoC of Radare2 and RetDec integration.

Setup

  1. Install Radare2 (r2).
  2. Install RetDec.
  3. Install r2pipe for Python.

Run

  • Get both the PoC script r2-retdec.py and test file ack.x86.gcc.O0.g.exe.
  • Decompile function at address 0x4015ED (_main):
python r2-retdec.py ack.x86.gcc.O0.g.exe -r <path_to_retdec-decompiler.py> -f 0x4015ED

State

  • Minimum information is exported from r2:
    • Missing global variables.
    • Missing data types.
  • RetDec behaves like it was decompiling via IDA plugin. This might not be ideal.
  • Even decompilation via IDA plugin is experimental and not working correctly all the times.
