The goal of this wiki is to make a searchable collection of documents which can be used to find various use cases and help regarding using r2. This is a live wiki and the goal is to updated frequently. If you have a tip, use case or plugin you would like to suggest, either create an issue, or tweet to me at @securisec

This wiki can be used either from the online version, local webapp or from the r2 shell.

Make sure to update the local version everytime before using. The wiki is updated frequently

From r2 shell

• Directions can be found in the r2wiki.py

• This can be accessed multiple ways.
