radius2 - fast symbolic execution with r2

radius2 is symbolic execution and taint analysis framework using radare2 and its ESIL intermediate representation. It is essentially 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. radius2 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 

Include radius2 as a dependency using radius2 = "1.0.15" or build locally with cargo build --release

Supported Architectures

• x86
• amd64
• ARM
• AArch64

"Supported" Architectures

radius2 also "supports" MIPS, PowerPC, and Gameboy but they are almost entirely untested. Additionally radius2 supports execution of cBPF and eBPF programs.

radius2 can execute Dalvik bytecode only involving static methods and variables.

Finally there is also a varying amount of support for 6502, 8051, AVR, h8300, PIC, RISCV, SH-4, V810, V850, Xtensa.

Also PCode can be translated to ESIL with r2ghidra with pdgp (currently broken, actually maybe fixed now) so potentially more archs could be supported that way.

Example

use radius2::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(&flag_val).unwrap();
    println!("FLAG: {}", flag);
    assert_eq!(flag, "Code_Talkers");
}

radius2 CLI tool

radius2 can also be installed from crates.io and easily included in packages. radius2 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 -S A0 0x100000 64 -S 0x100000 flag 96
  flag : "Code_Talkers"

Or even more quickly with strings using

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