The US National Security Agency (NSA) announces it has made its GHIDRA Software Reverse Engineering (SRE) framework available as open source. Key features of Ghidra are:

• includes a suite of software analysis tools for analyzing compiled code on a variety of platforms including Windows, Mac OS, and Linux
• capabilities include disassembly, assembly, decompilation, graphing and scripting, and hundreds of other features
• supports a wide variety of processor instruction sets and executable formats and can be run in both user-interactive and automated modes
• users may develop their own Ghidra plug-in components and/or scripts using the exposed API

The framework can be downloaded from https://ghidra-sre.org/. The page has a button labeled "SHA-256" but it seems to require Javascript for it to be displayed. A simple "view source" (you don't think I'm gonna let the NSA have execution permission on my computer!) of the page revealed:

Alternatively, it also seems to be available on GitHub.

What I really want to know is how are you supposed to pronounce its name?
