automating-analysis-with-r2pipe

automating-analysis-with-r2pipe is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from meltedinhex/analyst-ai-pack. It costs 69 tokens per session (689 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to scripting radare2 or rizin through r2pipe, a Python connection for automating their binary-analysis commands. Radare2 and rizin are tools for inspecting compiled programs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check the analysis setup, extract functions, imports, and strings, and query references between functions in a repeatable triage workflow.
Why use it?
It turns repeated inspection tasks into scripts and produces structured results across one or many samples. The guide focuses on reading program structure without running the sample.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

automating-analysis-with-r2pipe scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/analyst.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Automating Analysis With r2pipe

When to Use

  • You want to script radare2/rizin to extract functions, imports, strings, and cross-references programmatically, across one or many samples.
  • You are building a repeatable triage pipeline on top of r2's analysis commands.

Do not use r2 to debug/run the sample here — this skill drives static analysis commands (aaa, aflj, izj, iij). Run inside an isolated environment.

Prerequisites

  • radare2 (or rizin) installed and the r2pipe Python package (the script degrades gracefully and reports unavailability if absent).

Safety & Handling

  • r2 static analysis does not execute the sample; keep the working directory isolated.

Workflow

Step 1: Confirm r2pipe availability

python scripts/analyst.py check

Reports whether r2pipe and an r2/rizin binary are available.

Step 2: Extract an analysis summary

python scripts/analyst.py summary sample.bin

Opens the binary, runs analysis (aaa), and collects functions (aflj), imports (iij), and strings (izj) as structured JSON.

Step 3: Query cross-references

For a function of interest, gather xrefs to/from to map call relationships.

Step 4: Aggregate

Combine per-sample summaries for comparison and signature development.

Validation

  • The summary returns non-empty functions/imports for a normal binary.
  • JSON commands (*j) are parsed, not screen-scraped text.
  • Missing r2pipe/r2 is reported clearly rather than crashing.

Pitfalls

  • Forgetting to run aaa before querying functions (empty results).
  • Mixing radare2 and rizin command differences in scripted output.
  • Very large binaries making aaa slow — scope analysis as needed.

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
