Static Analysis of a virtual machine using GHIDRA
Description
Dynamic and Static analysis techniques are complementary, namely, it is often difficult to only focus on one single type of technique while reverse engineering an application. Dynamic analysis provides a a faster and straightforward approach to get an information. Static analysis is a slower approach but ensures a larger code coverage. If one had to reverse engineer a custom assembly code excuted by a custom virtual machine, being able to disassemble and decompile the code into a more comprehensive code brings the ability to review it without having to execute it. This module focuses on the reverse engineering tool: GHIDRA and its language specification, SLEIGH. The aim of this module is to show how to implement a custom decompiler for a virtual machine.
Topic covered
static analysis, decompiler, ghidra, sleigh
Outcome
What you will learn:

This is the third and last exercise of a 3-parts exercise.
