What is Cutter?
Cutter provides a powerful multi-platform reverse engineering tool designed with user experience in mind. Built by reverse engineers for reverse engineers, it leverages Rizin as its core engine to deliver thousands of features accessible through a graphical interface or integrated terminal. The platform includes interactive widgets, multiple themes, and native integration of Ghidra's decompiler without Java dependencies.
It supports dynamic analysis with a multiplatform debugger, binary patching, emulation for automation and malware analysis, and Python scripting for task automation.
