Rarun2

Rarun2 is a tool allowing to setup a specified execution environment - redefine stdin/stdout, pipes, change the environment variables and other settings useful to craft the boundary conditions you need to run a binary for debugging.

$ rarun2 -h
Usage: rarun2 -v|-t|script.rr2 [directive ..]

It takes the text file in key=value format to specify the execution environment.

Rarun2 can be used as both separate tool or as a part of radare2.

To load the rarun2 profile in radare2 you need to use either `-r` to load the profile from file or `-R` to specify the directive from string.

The format of the profile is very simple. Note the most important keys - `program` and `arg*`

One of the most common usage cases - redirect the output of debugged program in radare2.

For this you need to use `stdio`, `stdout`, `stdin`, `input`, and a couple similar keys.

Here is the basic profile example:

program=/bin/ls
arg1=/bin
# arg2=hello
# arg3="hello\nworld"
# arg4=:048490184058104849
# arg5=:!ragg2 -p n50 -d 10:0x8048123
# arg6=@arg.txt
# arg7=@300@ABCD # 300 chars filled with ABCD pattern
# system=r2 -
# aslr=no
setenv=FOO=BAR
# unsetenv=FOO
# clearenv=true
# envfile=environ.txt
timeout=3
# timeoutsig=SIGTERM # or 15
