Dont know if you guys have seen this already but it's pretty neato.

Written in java so you need the sdk to run it

its illegal to reverse engineer software
honey pot. dont use.

depends on where you live.
If you live in a free country(so not the usa) you can just decompile whatever you like

bad people are going to use it and then they will make the law more strict against reverse engineering by saying something like "See, we cant trust the people to use it for good!".
there's far more blackhats than CEHs

its just ida LMFAO

Shrooms says OP is a retard, which from this post is true

Ghidra is seen by many security researchers as a competitor IDA Pro.

This takes half an hour to dissamble a 64 bit game

Ida pro takes 5 min

the govt doesnt release free shit for no reason

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_(anonymity_network)#History

this is probably another honeypot just like tor

the NSA has so much more resources than IDA, so if thats their competition then there's a reason why NSA software is slower. its probably doing a lot of extra shit.

"unless there's some cleverly crafted steganography in their files. it's all open source though and available in plain text, I highly doubt it's as much of a threat and trap as you claim it is. "
I wouldnt doubt that this is exactly whats going on. why isnt it up on github yet, what exactly do they need to prep to just push to it?

Also Brolock since you mentioned TOR and are trying to relate the two,
the main difference in these two pieces of technology is that one is functionally only affecting programming, and the other is network topology and protocol, while they may both encompass some items and subjects in one or more of the same layers of the OSI model, their primary functions work way differently to be able to say that the amount skepticism that went and goes into TOR (I know I don't trust TOR, single digit amounts of layer keyed encryption methods are not going to be enough, especially with quantum computing coming soon) should also go into Ghidra.

Maybe this version that's publicly released online of Ghidra is bugged, yes that's very possible, as with any program no doubt.
I think we should be going into this discovery of the method of unscrambling highly encrypted math problems(which is what code and programming is, if not physics of life) and basically seeing this as a step forward in more advanced programming/AI. It's public release and announcement is as important if not more important than, say, calculus(AP amirite).

That said, if you have a completely offline computer that is encrypted, no one can possible know you're even running the software, unless you're an idiot of course.

Imagine a walking AI soldier with all kinds of laser weapons and Wireless transmitters and blockers(among other weaponry of course), there is nothing preventing a walking EMP that affects Military and targets exclusively that are viewed as threats to the government. It starts with stuff programs like CE, IDA and Ghidra, because you can make a program that utilizes these core functions and create a walking master device that controls everything that isn't secure enough lol. It's just a matter of time before the government or someone else starts rolling them out, watch.

The government is developing Magitek suits :^)

damn dude you sure used a lot of tech words to make yourself sound fuckin smart.

the only relation I was making between the two was that they were both developed by the government. I used the term honeypot for a reason, the govt needed the general population to use TOR because it wouldnt even make sense if they were the only ones using it, because then you would know exactly who the fucking feds were (the only ones to use tor). this is my analogy, that the reason they are releasing this is a similar reason, maybe not to bug people, the nsa does a lot more than just that, but because they need a mass amount of people to do this for some reason.

now to tackle the second half of your spiel: a compiled binary program isn't relatable to a "unscrambling highly encrypted math problem". you have two things youre trying to say that arent the same thing:
1) you arent getting source code back when reverse engineering a binary, you're getting back things like how the logic of the program worked, what the call flow looks like, etc. youre not really "unscrambling" it.

2)highly encrypted math problem doesnt make sense. the encryption IS a math problem. youre using a formula and secret keys so that it is practically impossible to factor the number back into the key.

"completely offline computer..." this doesnt matter. this is called an air gap, and it doesnt mean youre secure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuxnet

"that is encrypted" what do you mean by encrypting a computer?

"imagine a walking AI soldier..." warfare will never be done this way, we have drones and shit, the entire thing just sounds so fucking impractical. do you seriously fucking believe were going to have anthropomorphic robot soliders walking around reverse engineering enemy shit when most of the US "enenmies" are shitholes that we abuse for oil and collude with.
