Cutter

What it is

A Qt desktop application built on the Rizin engine, which began as a fork of radare2. Its widgets cover disassembly, graph views, hex editing, and an integrated Rizin console, and official releases bundle a native build of the Ghidra decompiler with no Java needed.

What it helps with

- Reading control flow in graph view with a mini-graph for navigation
- Decompiling functions to pseudocode
- Patching bytes and instructions in a binary
- Emulating code to study crypto routines or malware logic

Who it's for

Malware analysts, reverse engineers, and CTF players who prefer a graphical workspace for static and dynamic analysis.

Worth knowing

It includes a beta debugger for native and remote targets, and it can be extended with Python scripts or plugins.

Does it look different from other disassemblers?
It ships Light, Native, Dark, and Midnight themes plus a theme editor.

How does it compare with Ghidra or x64dbg?
In our view, it pairs a disassembler and decompiler like Ghidra with a debugger, though x64dbg remains the more mature choice for live Windows debugging.

Can I automate tasks?
Yes, the built-in Python scripting engine handles repeat work.
