@lupyuen So Pine didn't do all the work? ;)

@PawelK I've met NSA agents before but I don't think they were the ones who used Ghidra. I might be wrong, I was talking about Mirai as a useful utility for managing networks and I received a good amount of praise for my in depth analysis from a former Agent.

@trinsec I don't know what governmental authority stated it but I have to wait 60 days after recovery to be cleared for the first dose. With reports about the vaccine only lasting 6 months compared to the 14 months of my immune system, I don't really trust it. I only caught it after the sleepless nights and high stress of doing research work, going to Uni full time and working.

I'm not going to get vaccinated against Covid-19. (I had a Pharmacologist tell me that I couldn't get the vaccine because I had Covid-19 within the past 60 days. I have antibodies and that would increase my risk of a severe reaction to the vaccine. It was 14 months after I got it the first time that I contracted it again. :/ I think my body can do a better job than this vaccine. With that being said, Covid-19 sucks and eventhough the second time was not as bad, I don't want the weird stomach flu that makes it hurt to breathe again.)

@freemo I'm fairly certain that it went well with the Dexedrine.

@PawelK I am good with C and somewhat good with C++. The way the processors are setup in Ghidra is genius. I would definitely be willing to work with you on a project. We also have Python for development. I'm currently learning Rust too.

The results could be useful for many different applications. I would suggest a modular design so that they can be removed or added depending upon the project.

@PawelK I get better results from Ghidra than I do with anything else.

@PawelK It did expose me to nearly all of Ghidra's features.

@lupyuen Not a problem.

@lupyuen I might be able to get some better code uploaded soon. The existing code was uncovered within about a week of work. The past two months have been focused on Ghidra and getting better quality code.

I'm still working on the quality of the code and it's coming along slowly. Perhaps it will be near the weekend before it gets uploaded.

@PawelK It was a learning experience that I was able to laugh about.

I discovered that the processor I was implementing in Ghidra was already implemented. RV32GC is rv32imafc in Ghidra and it was near the end of implementing the instruction set that I found it in a line of text.

@PawelK Ghidra reminds me of SAGE Mathematics. They both are open source software and have the built in ability to integrate other software directly into the feature set.

@PawelK As a Mathematician I have known of those who were recruited into their ranks. I'm not their type of employee.

@PawelK The NSA developed Ghidra with their own personnel. Ghidra was made by NSA employees for use by NSA employees. That's why it's so gnarly to use but allows for custom tools and modules to be used. This is so far beyond IDA if an NSA employee is using it.

@PawelK It is but I think I will add a few instruction sets that are absent. I want to make this a more powerful tool over time. The only problem with Ghidra is that it was designed to be used by personnel who could have made Ghidra.

@PawelK I'm about to build SleighEditor so I can add the instruction sets. If I'm successful, I will try to get the code to Ghidra.

Going to find the instruction sets and try to import them with Sleigh Dev.

So the issue with Gradle has already been fixed and now I have to download and rebuild.

@PawelK I'm still looking into it. The entire processor implementation seems to be done by Sleigh. I fixed the launch script to where it uses 6GB for the VM by default. I'm trying to find out what is going on with the odd Gradle warning. There is no Gradle 8.0, I'm running the latest non RC version of Gradle, 7.0.2, which was released less than a month ago.
