What would this primarily be used for? I imagine investigating old platforms and games, old file formats? What else?

Basically same as IDA or Ghidra. Any sort of reverse engineering task can be done with Cutter. CTF, malware analysis, patching binaries, etc.

#33I read the title and thought "What is an RE?" not because I don't know what reverse engineering is, but because multiple things are called RE in this world. Including Resident Evil. How would I know.
Then I clicked the link, and the first line also says it's a RE tool. Huh. Fuck me, right?

Reverse engineering is commonly used in malware analysis and other security contexts, such as black box testing.

#35“Re” = reverse-engineering in this context.

#37I guess this is trying to occupy the space Hopper is in ie user friendly and easy to use.
While Ghidra, radare2 and IDA Pro are difficult to use, UI wise this and Hopper have simpler GUIs to help you focus on the actual re task

#38I was trying to figure out what a “Re Platform” is, until I checked the page and realized “Re” is an acronym and should be all caps “RE” - Reverse Engineering (Platform).

#39Cutter is a truly fantastic piece of software. Now that they’ve incorporated the decompiler from ghidra, its even better!
I sometimes have to look at data structures in memory (not via a debugger) for systems, firmware, or embedded work. I wonder if it would be any good for that? Seems like a related capability to reverse engineering.

#40I love the idea of cutter + ghidra-dec + debugger, but couldn't get the x64 debugging to work on even basic crackmes. Anyone know how it is lately?
