- rocket_surgeron 4y agoNSA is led by a four-star flag officer. They are a component of the military. Them giving up backdoors and zero-days would be like the Air Force giving up airplanes.

- knaik94 4y agoNSA has been working hard to shift some of the culture of bureaucracy. They realize that opening certain parts of their toolchain will allow then to find candidates with experience before they apply. Ghidra, an open sourced reverse engineering tool, has become a very popular disassembler. It's nice to see this shift in culture, especially from a black box agency like the NSA. https://github.com/NationalSecurityAgency/ghidra/ https://github.com/NationalSecurityAgency/ghidra/
