💖 R2AGENT(1) 💖

okay bestie, so r2agent is the Radare2 Agent HTTP Server and it's literally the moment. she's the manpage, i'm your tour guide, let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

r2agent — Radare2 Agent HTTP Server 🌸

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

r2agent [-adhsuLjv] [-p port] [-t file]

that's the whole vibe check right there, no cap.

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so like… r2agent is an HTTP server that gives you remote access to Radare2 instances through a RESTful API. it's giving "your binary, but from a distance" 💅. it enables remote debugging and analysis of binaries using Radare2. iconic behavior, honestly.

here's the flag lineup, all of them, no skips:

  • -a — listen for everyone 👀 (localhost by default, so you gotta opt in to being that public)
  • -d — run in daemon mode, aka background mode, aka she's doing her own thing while you do yours 🦋
  • -h — show help message (the classic "pls explain" button)
  • -s — run in sandbox mode 🧚 safe and cozy
  • -u — enable HTTP authorization access 🔐
  • -t file — user:password authentication file (pairs with -u, they're a duo)
  • -p port — specify listening port (defaults to 8080) 🎀
  • -v — show r2 version information and exit ✨
  • -L — list currently loaded r2 sessions and exit 📋
  • -j — output JSON when used with -v or -L (it's a modifier; no effect alone, she needs a friend fr fr)

🌱 ENVIRONMENT 🌱

r2agent does not use any environment variables. not one. nothing to see here, no hidden lore, she's self-sufficient 💜

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

start r2agent on the default port (8080):

$ r2agent

start r2agent on port 9090:

$ r2agent -p 9090

run r2agent in daemon mode:

$ r2agent -d

allow connections from any IP address:

$ r2agent -a

run with authentication enabled:

$ r2agent -u -t auth.txt

show version (text):

$ r2agent -v

show version (JSON):

$ r2agent -v -j

list currently loaded sessions (text):

$ r2agent -L

list currently loaded sessions (JSON):

periodt. go try one. 🎀
