I'm not sure why this is news. It is an amazing bit of kit, and cross platform. I've been using g it for many months now and highly recommend it.

Probably because a new version was just released. Details here* but big news is debugger support. Looking forward to taking it for a spin. https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/NationalSecurityAgency/ghidra/blob/Ghidra_10.0_build/Ghidra/Configurations/Public_Release/src/global/docs/WhatsNew.html https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/NationalSe...

  These are great release notes - I think quite a few Foss projects could draw some inspiration here.

For you it is obviously not news, but for other people it probably is. For me, HN is about learning something new, not just for learning about something that happened in the last 24 hours.

  Potentially news to those who recently got into coding/hacking. Ghidra was leaked in '17 and made headline news. Then officially released by the NSA in '19.

    Because you know everything that made the headlines up to 2017? There might or might not be discussion potential on any submission, so I understand arguing about their value, but that "news if you're a beginner" was very condescending. Why not be happy about today's lucky 10,000?

      > Because you know everything that made the headlines up to 2017? No, and I didn't mean to sound condescending. I'll take out the "only" in my message. Edit: And to clarify what I meant, I may not have known every headline in 2017, but I sure as hell heard about most of the Vault 7 releases. An organization anonymously releasing a world power's cyber tooling is something out of a cyberpunk novel.

  I once was a total jerk on a mailing list (okay in my youth I was a jerk many times on mailing lists). Someone shared an article I had seen earlier that year. “Why would you share this? This is old news it’s already made the rounds on the web.” Like I expected everyone to have the same experience as me. Luckily someone told me to chill out or I’d be blocked, that the list was for any news people found interesting. I felt very embarrassed and didn’t post there again for a long time, but it was my own fault.

  There's a plenty of Ghidra content on HN on a regular basis, take a look at https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=Ghidra%20comments%3E0&sort=byDate&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

I did a double take seeing Ghidra in a headline because just yesterday I was watching a video of someone going through WannaCry with Ghidra. I had never heard of it before yesterday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv8yu12y5zM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv8yu12y5zM
