Run a language model in local, without internet, to entertain you or help answering questions about radare2 or reverse engineering in general. Note that models used by r2ai are pulled from external sources which may behave different or respond unrealible information. That's why there's an ongoing effort into improving the post-finetuning using memgpt-like techniques which can't get better without your help!

Features

  • Prompt the language model without internet requirements
  • Use local GGUF or remote language models (via http)
  • Index large codebases or markdown books using a vector database
  • Slurp file and perform actions on that
  • Embed the output of an r2 command and resolve questions on the given data
  • Define different system-level assistant role
  • Set environment variables to provide context to the language model
  • Live with repl and batch mode from cli or r2 prompt
  • Accessible as an r2lang-python plugin, keeps session state inside radare2
  • Scriptable from python, bash, r2pipe, and javascript (r2papi)
  • Use different models, dynamically adjust query template
    • Load multiple models and make them talk between them

Installation

To use r2ai, you need to setup a venv and install all the python dependencies inside. Just running make or r2pm -ci r2ai should be enough.

You can optionally install vectordb to index local data by typing: make vdb. If the process fails rm -rf vdb and try again

Running

When running installed via r2pm you can execute it like this:

r2pm -r r2ai

Additionally you can get the r2ai command inside r2 to run as an rlang plugin by installing the bindings:

r2pm -i rlang-python
make user-install

After this you should get the r2ai command inside the radare2 shell. Set the R2_DEBUG=1 environment to see the reasons why the plugin is not loaded if it's not there.

Windows

On Windows you may follow the same instructions, just ensure you have the right python environment ready and create the venv to use

git clone https://github.com/radareorg/r2ai
cd r2ai
set PATH=C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\;%PATH%
python3 -m pip -r requirements.txt
python3 main.py

Usage

There are 4 different ways to run r2ai:

  • Standalone and interactive: r2pm -r r2ai or python main.py
  • Batch mode: r2ai '-r act as a calculator' '3+3=?'
  • As an r2 plugin: r2 -i main.py /bin/ls
  • From radare2 (requires r2pm -ci rlang-python): r2 -c 'r2ai -h'
  • Using r2pipe: #!pipe python main.py
    • Define a macro command: '$r2ai=#!pipe python main.py

Auto mode

When using OpenAI, Claude or any of the Functionary local models you can use the auto mode which permits the language model to execute r2 commands, analyze the output in loop and in a loop until it is resolved. Here's a sample session to achieve that:

$ . env/bin/activate
(env)$ r2 /bin/ls
[0x00000000]> '$r2ai=#!pipe python main.py
[0x00000000]> $r2ai '-m openai:gpt-4'
[0x00000000]> $r2ai "' list the imports for this program"
[0x00000000]> $r2ai "' draw me a donut"
[0x00000000]> $r2ai "' decompile current function and explain it"

Examples

You can interact with r2ai from standalone python, from r2pipe via r2 keeping a global state or using the javascript interpreter embedded inside radare2.

Development/Testing

Just run make .. or well python3 main.py

TODO

  • add "undo" command to drop the last message
  • dump / restore conversational states (see -L command)
  • Implement ~, | and > and other r2shell features
