Useful for
Reverse engineers and developers who need to understand binaries, investigate program behavior or extend a software analysis workflow.
Before you try it
Ghidra 12.2 requires a 64-bit JDK 25. Use the built release archive rather than the source-code download, and extract it into a new installation directory. Projects modified by 12.2 may not open in older versions. Server deployments now enforce TLS authentication and need migration attention. The framework is Apache-2.0, with bundled components carrying their own licenses. This is a source-based introduction; no binary analysis was performed.

Useful for
Android developers who want an agent to follow a specific migration or diagnostic workflow inside an existing project.
Before you try it
These are instructions and supporting resources, not a standalone development environment. The edge-to-edge workflow requires Jetpack Compose and target SDK 35 or later; R8 analysis depends on the AGP and R8 versions and may need Python tooling. AI changes still need review. The repository is Apache-2.0 and accepts issue feedback, but currently does not accept public code contributions. Installation and generated changes were not tested here.
