radius2 1.0.7

radius - fast symbolic execution with r2

radius is a rust rewrite of ESILSolve with some architectural improvements. It uses boolector as the SMT solver rather than z3. It executes about 1000x faster than ESILSolve on average. radius gains additional speed over other rust based symbex tools by using u64 primitives for concrete values instead of constant valued bitvectors which incur significant overhead for all operations.

Building

Install radare2 with

git clone https://github.com/radareorg/radare2.git
radare2/sys/install.sh 

Then clone and build radius with cargo build --release

Example

use radius2::radius::Radius;

fn main() {
    let mut radius = Radius::new("tests/r100");
    let mut state = radius.call_state(0x004006fd);
    let addr: u64 = 0x100000;
    let flag_val = state.symbolic_value("flag", 12*8);
    state.memory.write_value(addr, &flag_val, 12);
    state.registers.set("rdi", state.concrete_value(addr, 64));

    radius.breakpoint(0x004007a1);
    radius.avoid(&[0x00400790]);
    let mut new_state = radius.run(state, 1).unwrap();
    let flag = new_state.evaluate_string_value(&flag_val).unwrap();
    println!("FLAG: {}", flag);
    assert_eq!(flag, "Code_Talkers");
}

radius CLI tool

radius can also be installed from crates.io and easily included in packages. radius also has a CLI tool that can be installed with cargo install radius2

This tool can be used to solve the same r100 crackme as above like

$ radius2 -p tests/r100 -a 0x4006fd -x 0x400790 -s flag 96 --set A0 0x100000 64 --set 0x100000 flag 96
flag : #x7372656b6c61545f65646f43 "Code_Talkers"

Or even more quickly with strings using

$ radius2 -p tests/r100 -s stdin 96 -X Incorrect
stdin : #x7372656b6c61545f65646f43 "Code_Talkers"
