About Capstone
Capstone is a lightweight, multi-platform, multi-architecture disassembly framework. It provides a clean, simple API to disassemble binary code into human-readable assembly for x86 (16/32/64-bit), ARM, ARM64, MIPS, PowerPC, SPARC, SystemZ, XCore, M68K, TMS320C64x, M680x, and EVM architectures. Capstone is the disassembly engine embedded in many major security tools including Ghidra, radare2/rizin, Cutter, Binary Ninja, and dozens of others. Its design emphasizes thread safety, zero external dependencies, and rich detail extraction - each disassembled instruction includes operand details, register access information, and instruction groups. Bindings are available for Python, Java, Go, Ruby, Rust, OCaml, and many other languages, making it the standard building block for custom disassembly and binary analysis tools.
About Cutter
Cutter is a graphical user interface (GUI) for the Radare2 reversing framework, designed to make reverse engineering more accessible. It includes features like graph views, a decompiler, and a hex editor, enhancing the usability of Radare2's capabilities. Developed in C++, Cutter provides a user-friendly interface that simplifies complex analysis tasks, making it popular among both novice and experienced reverse engineers.
