@PawelK Thanks for introducing me to some very impressive people. We seem to have a budding relationship.
@AmpBenzScientist
I hoped youd be in on sakura. Oh well however it goes. Ponder longer vacation in eastern europe please so we finally meet.
@PawelK I will try to get on. I never was able to really connect with the other guy. I've also been caught up with Ghidra development.
@AmpBenzScientist
Is ghidra project you mention the disasm engine for riscv? If its your job, ill intro you to llvm project and riscv big shot. His name is chris lattner. Write down this name. It will come hady later possibly. He was chief arch behind llvm and clang and now is chief arch on one riscv fablab. Youll meet him if time allows. Ill need your email handle or something.
@PawelK I'm looking into the issue rn to see if I can just import the instruction set and how it will need to be formatted.
@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.
@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.
@AmpBenzScientist
Is it still riscv specific?
@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.
@AmpBenzScientist
I think i dont get the last sentence. Whats the gist of issue there? Ida noncompatibility or something their company specific?
@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.
@AmpBenzScientist
I just hope hope youre contributing to ghidra not as an employee.
@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.
@AmpBenzScientist
Yes remote port scanning might have many uses for them. Either testing the leaked stolen extorted out or in worst case bought credentials grabbed from darknet or forced entry or pentesting. Yea its fancy little tool. They shpuld monitor tools used by baddies and try to adapt them to their deeds etc.
