- monocasa 8y agoProbably to crowd source maintenance like nearly every other closed to open transition. And ghidra has been leaked a few times (they give it out like candy to contractors) so they're not really losing much.
- weaksauce 8y agoany reports on if it's better than IDA?
- monocasa 8y agoI've heard that it's about equal in power, but different. Ghidra has a bigger emphasis on working with the decompiled output; you spend nearly all your time in the decompiler whereas in IDA you flip back and for decompiler (if you have it) and disassembler.
