^^ effing owned dude... 😅 By a Polock Frank... sick digs

Wow is that even possible with ghidra?

Gil Bytepatching should be simple, worst case you just use like a Hex Editor and jump to the offset and manually patch ig

@@gilperon its possible i. Gdb, i would hope so! :)

You sir are a thought criminal reading those agreements... tut tut..

@@EchoXIIIGO I do recall about 10 years ago, a very prominent software vendor had an Easter egg in the terms and conditions. something about giving away your first born and pledging elegance to satan. It took about 5 or more years for someone to finally read it and mention it. (Mickyj Whitehat)

@benzo I highly doubt an opensource project would send data to the NSA, I feel like people are very aware of their role in the world, especially floss peeps.

You must know what you are agreeing to before you agree.

In dialog boxes like that the only buttonnshould be renamed from "Ok" to "Whatever" 🤪

you've literally got a black hat on. don't lie

I thought since the g is before the h it would be pronounced as geye-druh fff English has me all sorts of confused

Tech RU-vidrs always have their view count scaled way down

argv[0] is the program Name, 1 is the first argument, 2 the second argument etc :) So if you call “ls /etc” argv[0] contains “ls”

None, I have a separate computer where I do this kind of stuff.

(Thank you classic Godzilla movies.)

How can i fix this error? I'm at the moment a noob at programming.

@@letsplayer9558 the LARP groups are showing people how to use this shit lmao, hire me LARP people, I don't second guess stuff when I know what the shot is

Set it to char ** argv instead of char * argv[] That’s also how it’s in the video in the second step - I assume [] is now reserved

@@stacksmashing yep it works, thank you!

No worries :) hope they eventually support that syntax

Passwords are often : crackmes.de or crackmes.one

Will do later today!

I'm having the same problem

It’s a SSH connection into a VM

Ah I see. Thanks for the reply

@killmoo, true, but I believe there were several vulnerabilities found and fixed in Ghidra upon its release. Now seeing as it was an in-house tool for the NSA, then they should have been able to patch these up (or at least some of them, and acknowledge that these vulnerabilities exist). I find it hard to believe that those vulnerabilities are not, in fact, deliberately placed backdoors. I really want to get into reverse engineering, and I only use free software, so I guess I'll have to use radare2 for the time being. (I'm not saying radare2 is bad, it's just notoriously difficult to learn and virtually impossible to master, from what I've heard and read at this point in time.) PS of course vulnerabilities exist in virtually every program, and it is entirely possible that these vulnerabilities slipped through, but seeing as we are talking about the NSA and their infamous reputation, I can't help but be dubious and sceptical. (Edit: content.)

That's why it's a simple crackme :)

Because Ghidra unfortunately does not support [] in the function signature - so instead of saying 'this is a pointer to an array' we say 'this is a pointer to a pointer', which gives us the result we want :) (Simplified: Working with an array in C is basically just pointer-arithmetic in the background)

So there are "good" feds? Tell me what the shot is lmao, I'm too bored and see through the veil that most content is staged and fake

It is pronounced "Gee-druh" (github.com/NationalSecurityAgency/ghidra/wiki/Frequently-asked-questions#how-do-you-pronounce-ghidra), but that's okay. This video was a very nice introduction, by the way!

Indeed :) I fixed it in the other ones.

Use this instead: int main (int argc, char * * argv)
