#3This... This is great. As an aspiring security expert, this is really, really great. I'll take a closer look at it tomorrow, but I am very grateful at the possibility of a more streamlined approach to RE instead of learning several arcane tools in isolation and manually constructing a workflow.

#4Cutter is a truly fantastic piece of software. Now that they’ve incorporated the decompiler from ghidra, its even better!

This took me a surprisingly long time. I was wondering why anyone was building a regular expression platform (maybe that's cool, I dunno).

Also, you can use Ghidra, RetDec and r2dec decompilers all at the same time inside Cutter.

Ghidra is of course the most mature and deals the best with convoluted code. It has the least unnecessary type munging.
But I'm very impressed that retdec was able to to get in an early return. Deeply nested ifs are a big pain point for me in ghidra, in cases when the code would be much easier to read with an early return.
Edit: I wonder how it's implemented. Presumably you need some heuristic to decide to duplicate a basic block. Perhaps that could be exposed to the user?

#8"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?

#10Few days ago there was a discussion about hex editors.
I will confess I use one written by the author of radare2; in fact, it was apparently the precursor to radare.
It is called ired and I keep a copy of it as a single .c file. Compiles quickly on BSD/Linux. Works well with large binary files.
