The command "rabin2 -i ${path-to-binary}" is used to obtain information about a binary file using the rabin2 tool.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "rabin2": This is the name of the command-line tool. rabin2 is part of the radare2 framework, which is a set of tools used for reverse engineering and analyzing software binaries.

  • "-i": This is a flag or option passed to the rabin2 tool. In this case, the "-i" flag stands for "info" and is used to request information about the specified binary file.

  • "${path-to-binary}": This is a placeholder for the actual path to the binary file you want to analyze. You need to replace this placeholder with the accurate path to the binary file on your system.

When you execute this command with the correct path to the binary file, the rabin2 tool will analyze the binary and provide information such as the file format, entry point address, architecture, sections, flags, imported and exported symbols, libraries dependencies, and more, depending on the capabilities of the tool and the binary being analyzed.
