The command "rabin2 -z" is used to examine the sections of a binary file and display information about them. The specific section of interest is identified using the path-to-binary argument.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "rabin2" is a command-line tool in the Radare2 framework, which is a reverse engineering platform. It provides various functionalities to analyze binary files.

  • "-z" is an option flag for the rabin2 command that instructs it to display information about the sections in the binary file. The information includes details like section name, virtual address, size, and permissions.

  • "${path-to-binary}" represents the path or location of the binary file that you want to analyze. You need to replace it with the actual path to the file on your system.

When you run this command, rabin2 will parse the binary file specified by the path and print out information about its sections, helping you understand the structure and layout of the binary file.
