Learning Ghidra Basics Analyzing Firmware
·11 mins
Introduction # It has been a while since I have analyzed any program or firmware. The majority of my previous experiences were mostly analyzing Capture The Flag (CTF) binaries with the help and instruction from my good friend Matt Carpenter of Grimm Security. While extremely helpful, I always knew I was looking for a vulnerability that should be easy to find since I mainly stuck with the easy to medium difficulty challenges. Analyzing actual firmware for a vulnerability is much different. While most programs “should” have vulnerabilities, there is no guarantee of a flag at the end, like in CTF binaries, that can be verified by submitting a string of bytes for points.
