# r2diaphora

r2diaphora is a port of [Diaphora](https://github.com/joxeankoret/diaphora) to [radare2](https://github.com/radareorg/radare2) and MariaDB. It also uses [r2ghidra](https://github.com/radareorg/r2ghidra) as decompiler by default, with support for other decompilers such as `pdc`.

## What is diaphora?

Quoting from the original repository:

> Diaphora (διαφορά, Greek for 'difference') version 2.0 is the most advanced program diffing tool, working as an IDA plugin, available as of today (2019). It was released first during SyScan 2015 and is actively maintained.

## Setup

0. r2diaphora requires radare2 to be installed in the local machine and a valid connection to a MariaDB server. If you don't have either of those refer to the respective software manual on how to install them.
1. Install it with `pip install r2diaphora`
2. Run `r2diaphora-db config -u <user> -p <password> -hs <host>` to fill database credentials
3. (Optional) Install r2ghidra with `r2pm -ci r2ghidra`. Optionally you can use `pdc` (`-d pdc`) or no decompiler at all (`-nd`)

## Usage
