#102While on the topic, I want to highlight two incredible plugins for Ghidra: https://github.com/jtang613/GhidrAssist And https://github.com/jtang613/GhidrAssistMCP Being able to hook Claude code up to this has made reversing way more productive. Highly recommend!
How willing is Claude to help you there?
It's actually pretty good. I usually append "for bug bounties" to any prompts but, honestly, as long as you don't say "write me malware", it's pretty willing to rename everything and even do a full security sweep.

#103Been awhile since I used this but decided to open the latest version to check my rust binary and was pleasantly surprised how much better it is today wrt rust binaries
Can you be more specific? Is it getting easier to reverse rust and go, since I have read about it being the hardest to reverse.
It's not perfect, but in my personal experience it is still tough in languages like that due to the sheer volume of indirection and noise that makes it hard to follow. For example Go's calling convention is a little nutty compared to other languages, and you'll encounter a few *****ppppppppVar values that are otherworldly to make sense of, but the ability to recognize library functions and sys calls is for sure better.

#104Taking the opportunity to ask: are there nice recommended resources for a beginner to start with reverse engineering (ideally using Ghidra)? Let's say for an experienced developer, but not so experienced in reverse engineering? I guess one issue I have is that I don't have good ideas of fun projects, and that's probably something I need to actually get the motivation to learn. I can find a "hello world", that's easy,…
The Nightmare Course [1], so named because someone with that skillset (developing zero-days) is a nightmare for security, not because the course itself is a nightmare, and Roppers Academy [2] are both good for learning how to reverse engineer software and look for vulnerabilities.
The nightmare course explicitly talks about how to use Ghidra.

You were rude but I understand what you mean. People can obviously Google "reverse engineering tutorial" or something similar. And certainly "what are good resources for X" can be a way to signal interest in something, get people to respond, and not necessarily do anything about it. But I think the most charitable interpretation of that question is they want a group consensus for the best place to start, since Google might return a heavily promoted site that had deprecated info. I remember years ago people hated "cplusplus.com" because out of a volume that is the size of a textbook, it had a few bad examples. So instead they promoted cppreference. (For learning C++).
I think we should conclude people want to maximize learning while minimizing wasted time, hence they ask for the "best resources". Even though the question seems tiring at times (when I was on reddit I heard this constantly, and cynically projected that very few people actually used the resources they requested. But I solved this problem by quitting/getting banned from Reddit and never looked back).

#106opus 4.6 can use that from cli, and do RE, make pseudo C, and later decode binaries based on this code into interpretable data.
amazing tool
Re: Ghidra by NSA
#107Are these tools useable by OpenClaw yet?

#108Binary Ninja deserves a mention in these threads: https://binary.ninja I've used IDA, Ghidra, and Binary Ninja a lot over the years. At this point I much prefer Binary Ninja for the task of building up an understanding of large binaries with many thousands of types and functions. It also doesn't hurt that its UI/UX feel like something out of this century, and it's very easy to automate using Python scripts.
The Linux free trial version is a 400MB .zip file including a 255.2MB "binaryninja" shared binary

Seems like it would be of limited value to backdoor a program like Ghidra. Might be useful in identifying security researchers, except that it's also the kind of program that will often be running on disconnected systems with little valuable data beyond whatever is being disassembled.

Wow, they made it free. The last time I used it I bought a $100 subscription for non commercial use.
