Ghidra: Software Reverse Engineering Framework
Ghidra is a free and open source software reverse engineering (SRE) framework developed by the National Security Agency (NSA) for analyzing compiled code. It includes a suite of software analysis tools for analyzing compiled code on a variety of platforms.
Project Introduction
Summary
Ghidra is a robust and flexible software reverse engineering framework designed to help users analyze complex compiled code. It combines various analysis tools into a single platform.
Problem Solved
Software reverse engineering can be a complex and time-consuming task, requiring specialized tools to understand compiled binaries. Ghidra addresses this by providing a comprehensive, integrated platform for analyzing code, identifying vulnerabilities, and understanding program behavior.
Core Features
Multi-Architecture Disassembly
Supports disassembly and assembly for a wide variety of processor instruction sets and executable formats.
Powerful Decompiler
Advanced decompilation capabilities for multiple languages, translating machine code back into high-level source code.
Integrated GUI
Provides a highly interactive graphical user interface (GUI) for detailed code analysis.
Extensible Scripting
Allows extending functionality through scripting in Java, Python, or other languages.
