PyGhidra

PyGhidra（旧pyhidra）はGhidraの分析エンジンへのPythonインターフェースを提供し、Ghidra GUIなしでPythonからGhidraヘッドレス分析の実行、スクリプト実行、プログラムAPIアクセス、関数の反復、クロスリファレンス分析、デコンパイルを行えます。

インストール

# Install pyghidra
pip install pyghidra

# Requires Ghidra to be installed separately
# Download from https://ghidra-sre.org

# Set Ghidra installation path
export GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR="/opt/ghidra"

# Or configure in Python
import pyghidra
pyghidra.start(ghidra_install_dir="/opt/ghidra")

Starting PyGhidra

Basic Initialization

import pyghidra

# Start the Ghidra JVM
pyghidra.start()

# Start with specific Ghidra installation
pyghidra.start(ghidra_install_dir="/opt/ghidra_11.3")
