Compare RetDec with alternatives
RetDec vs REDasm
A free, open-source interactive disassembler that supports multiple architectures, legacy formats and plugins.
RetDec vs IDA Free
IDA Free adds a full disassembler interface on Windows, macOS and Linux, but its decompiler only covers x86 and x86-64, runs in the cloud and forbids commercial use.
RetDec vs angr management
angr management provides a graphical front end with C pseudocode decompilation and symbolic execution under the BSD-2-Clause licence, aimed at reverse engineers and CTF players.
RetDec vs Ghidra
Ghidra is an actively developed open-source framework with a graphical decompiler and team projects, though it needs a JDK and has a steep learning curve.
RetDec vs Binary Ninja
Binary Ninja is a commercial platform with a free edition that decompiles to C or BNIL and includes debugging, unlike the command-line RetDec.
RetDec vs Rizin
Rizin is a command-line reverse engineering framework with an official Cutter GUI, focused on disassembly and analysis rather than a dedicated LLVM decompiler.
RetDec vs radare2
radare2 disassembles, emulates, debugs and patches binaries across many architectures, but its command syntax is steep and it is not mainly a decompiler.
RetDec vs Hopper Disassembler
Hopper Disassembler is a paid Mac-only disassembler and decompiler with a built-in debugger, focused on macOS and iOS binaries.
