Plugins

radare2 is implemented on top of a bunch of libraries, almost every of those libraries support plugins to extend the capabilities of the library or add support for different targets.

This section aims to explain what are the plugins, how to write them and use them

Types of plugins ``` $ ls libr/*/p | grep : | awk -F / '{ print $2 }' anal # analysis plugins asm # assembler/disassembler plugins bin # binary format parsing plugins bp # breakpoint plugins core # core plugins (implement new commands) crypto # encrypt/decrypt/hash/...

debug # debugger backends egg # shellcode encoders, etc fs # filesystems and partition tables io # io plugins lang # embedded scripting languages parse # disassembler parsing plugins reg # arch register logic ```

Listing plugins

Some r2 tools have the `-L` flag to list all the plugins associated to the functionality.

rasm2 -L    # list asm plugins
r2 -L       # list io plugins
rabin2 -L   # list bin plugins
rahash2 -L  # list hash/crypto/encoding plugins

There are more plugins in r2land, we can list them from inside r2, and this is done by using the `L` suffix.

Those are some of the commands: ``` L # list core plugins iL # list bin plugins dL # list debug plugins mL # list fs plugins ph # print support hash algoriths ```

You can use the `?` as value to get the possible values in the associated eval vars.

e asm.arch=?   # list assembler/disassembler plugins
e anal.arch=?  # list analysis plugins

Notes

Note there are some inconsistencies that most likely will be fixed in the future radare2 versions.
