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?

    All of them have various levels of goodness about them. For the 'old' platforms most of them fail at it fairly hard. I am hoping this one has some win3.x and 95 vxd love. There are a few bits and bobs that I would love to port to something modern. Finding a de-compiler for the NE format is fairly miss and not hit...
