# Tools Setup

## Radare 2

Kali comes pre-installed with radare2. You can check by doing:

```
$ radare2 --version
```

If it's not installed, then we can either download it from apt

```
$ apt-get install radare2
```

### Windows:

Or you can install it from github:

```
$ git clone https://github.com/radare/radare2.git
$ cd radare2
$ sys/install.sh
```

**(Or without root permissions)**

```
$ sys/user.sh
```

And then to run it:

```
$ r2
```

## Ghidra:

Ghidra is a tool that the NSA released for it to be open source back in April 2019, and it's an amazing tool.\\

Once you've downloaded ghidra as a zip file, you need to unzip:

Change directories into the ghidra folder, and then run using
