Description:
Today we will introduce you to the reverse open-source development tool under the name Ghidra. The software is written in Java using the Swing library for the graphical interface,
and the decompiler component is written in C++.
The interface features include:
* The Listing Panel in CodeBrowser displays the disassembled code
with the ability to navigate in various ways.
* There is a function "Tree of functions" - allows you to see,
What functions are included or out of the current window.
* You can customize the interface: change the visual design (colors, fonts, displayed fields, mouse behavior), keyboard shortcuts and other parameters.
Additional information:
Why can this tool be useful?
In the field of cybersecurity - for analysis of malware, exploitation research,
Identify vulnerabilities in software.
In the field of software development - reverse engineering helps to understand the work of third-party libraries,
analyze data exchange protocols and ensure compatibility with legacy software.
To investigate cybercrime, Ghidra is used to analyze artifacts extracted from digital media,
and restoring the logic of suspicious programs.
Some features of Ghidra;
• Disassembly - conversion of machine code (binary data) into assembly instructions that a person understands.
Feature is intelligent disassembling, which not only converts bytes into instructions, but also analyzes the control flow, determines functions, builds a call graph.
• Decompilation and code reconstruction - analysis of all places of call of functions and use of variables in the project,
converting a conditional assembler into a readable pseudocode with data and logic structures recovery.
Automatic assignment of names to functions and variables based on their context.
• Research tools - built-in encryption and compression algorithm detection functions, the ability to perform low-level instructions in a virtual environment, changing the code directly in a binary file.
• Extension and automation - with the help of Ghidra plugins can work with GDB, Radare2,
IDA Pro and other external tools.
Support for scripts written in Python or Java to automate analysis.
• Joint work - built-in Ghidra capabilities allow you to work
on one project to several analysts at the same time.
The synchronization of changes and the export of work results in the form of a report in HTML, PDF or XML format is supported.
It should be noted that Ghidra is a combination of complex source code and many third-party dependencies,
which have already found vulnerabilities.
Ghidra is designed to work with Java installed, but for simplicity, I created an executable file that automatically downloads the built-in portable version.
So, you don't have to do anything extra than run Ghidra from your desktop.
Alternatively, you can run it from the "GhidraRun.bat" file, which will require Java.
In the "Ghidra\support" folder, you'll find 'ghidraClean.bat' that detects and removes artifacts left by Ghidra in the file system. After completing the work and closing the program, you can run it for cleaning.
To install plugins after downloading them (usually this .zip file) open any project
and select from the "File - Install Extensions" menu.
In the window that opens, click the green button + in the top right corner. Find and select the downloaded .zip file.
Confirm and restart Ghidra to activate new features.
Most extensions will appear as new items in the menu or as additional windows in the Window menu.
I recommend adding 'GhidraMCP-7' via the Extensions section immediately after the program is running,
because it allows AI assistants (such as Trae Code and others) to directly interact with external tools.
1. Unpack the archive "Ghidra 12.1.4.zip".
2. Copy all the contents of the 'Bonus' folder and paste it into the 'Ghidra' folder.
3. Run the program from the 'Ghidra.exe' file.
4. Ready.
