About the project

A software reverse engineering framework from the NSA: disassembly, decompilation, graphing and scripting for analyzing compiled code on Windows, macOS and Linux.

Useful for
  • Disassemble and decompile a binary to look for vulnerabilities
  • Write a Python or Java script to automate analysis of malware samples
  • Extend Ghidra with a custom plugin via GhidraDev for Eclipse or VS Code

4.4 Steady Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of November 2, 2026, 19:22 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-02 (UTC), 00:09–19:07: 96770 → 97112 stars (+342). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +423 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • GitHub Trending this month: #9, +16,858 stars.
  • About 68 forks a day — people are taking the code.
  • Recent forks include notable developers: @ashiquebiniqbal (221 followers).

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 2,586. -24% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
