AI Summary: Iaitō is a GUI application developed in Qt and C++ that serves as a frontend for the radare2 reverse engineering framework, specifically targeting users who are not familiar with command-line interfaces. The tool is designed to lower the barrier of entry for new users by providing a more accessible interface, although it is currently in an alpha state and primarily intended for developers. Notable features include cross-platform support for OS X, Linux, and Windows, along with installation requirements for radare2 and Qt.

Disclaimer

Iaitō is not aimed at existing radare2 users, it is focused on those whose are not yet radare2 users because of the learning curve, they don’t like CLI applications or the difficulty/instability of radare2.

IMPORTANT: the current status is highly unstable, it is an alpha version aimed for developers. Users please wait for the first stable release with installers.

The code sucks

Yes, the code sucks. Hopefully we will be able to remove this statement from the README one day, but I had never coded Qt nor C++ until I started Iaitō, so obviously the code is ugly and not well designed.

Requirements

• Radare2: Make sure that, when cloning the project, you use git clone --recurse-submodules or run git submodule update --init to clone the correct radare2 version. Then execute the following command in the radare2 folder:

sys/install.sh

• QtCreator and Qt: Right now Iaitō uses Qt 5.9.1, you will need the latest QtCreator and Qt added during the installation:
  • Download: https://www.qt.io/ide/
  • Add Qt 5.9.1: http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-project-qmake.html

Platforms

Iaitō is developed and tested in OS X, Linux and Windows. The first release for users will include installers for all three platforms.

Documentation

Proper documentation and website will be created before the first release.

Roadmap information for developers can be found here.
