Ghidra

NSA open-source RE suite — disassembler + decompiler + scripting for static analysis.

Installation

# Download from https://github.com/NationalSecurityAgency/ghidra/releases
# Ghidra 12.2 requires 64-bit JDK 25
# Extract and run:
./ghidraRun           # Linux/macOS

The ordinary launcher starts the GUI; use the PyGhidra launcher below for CPython scripts. The 12.2 setup guide lists Python 3.9–3.15 for PyGhidra and 3.7–3.14 for debugger support; full source builds have separate requirements.
