8 alternatives to radare2

radareorg/radare2 — UNIX-like reverse engineering framework and command-line toolset (25,149 stars, NOASSERTION, dev-tools, ai, files).

These are the closest projects in the JustClaw-It index that we serve licence-cleared code from, ranked by relevance and by our code-quality score (1–10, the mean over each repo's graded components: completeness, code quality, deployability, reusability, strategic value). JustClaw-It does not serve code from radareorg/radare2 itself (licence class: unknown), so these alternatives are the licence-cleared route.
