@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
Btw i am trying to build a full profile of john jackson and picture is rather gloomy. I wish i could consult my findings both with You and former marines I know of. He seems disabled not only in physical way saying it harshly or corrupted in head or confused or colluding with 2020 power grab dudes in a mild version.
@PawelK USMC is held to a higher standard of integrity than other branches of the US military. They are the only branch that is directly under order of The President.
With that being said, they are not entitled to political opinions. They follow orders. If an active duty or reserve member of the Army took part in this treasonous act, they would likely face a firing squad. I can't really defend this person other than saying that they might not have been fully aware of what was going to happen. If they knew about it beforehand, I'm of the opinion that they should face a firing squad.
@AmpBenzScientist
More complicated he claims to be disabled vet yet some of his views are highly concerning. Very unlike to other exmarines i heard so far. Id assume he found his niche in collusion with jan6areterrorists story. But if thats not that, i am very very sad when thinking of his future. Very disappointed to say it mildly.
@PawelK There is a saying, "Once a Marine, always a Marine." They are held to a higher standard even after leaving. They have never officially surrendered to an enemy force even when the commanding officer has. A brotherhood that has seen Marines ordered to their deaths and they fought anyway. Named Devil Dogs by the Germans for their unrelenting assaults and fearlessness in the face of overwhelming odds. Considering that there were only 200,000 Marines in The USMC until recently, they would be damned for failing to live up to their proud heritage.
