Ghidrecomp - Command Line Ghidra Decompiler

About

This Python command line tool decompiles all functions of a binary and writes them to a directory in separate C files:

flowchart LR

a(filename ) --> b[ghidrecomp]
a2[(Symbol Server)] --> b

b --> e(Ghidra Project Files)
b --> output

subgraph output

  subgraph decompilations
      direction LR
      i(func1.c)
      h(func2.c)
      f(funcB.c)
  end

  subgraph callgraphs
      direction LR
      j(callgraph1.md)
      k(callgraph2.md)
      l(callgraphN.md)
  end

  subgraph bsim-xml
      direction LR
      n(sig-md5-bin1.xml)
      m(sig-md5-bin2.xml)
      o(sig-md5-binN.xml)
  end

end

Or a single file C and header file with --cppexport:

flowchart LR

a(filename ) --> b[ghidrecomp]
a2[(Symbol Server)] --> b

b --> e(Ghidra Project Files)

b --> singlefile 

subgraph singlefile
  direction LR
  s1(all_funcs.c)
  s2(all_funcs.h)
end

The main purpose for this is to use the decomplilations for research and analysis. The tool relies on Ghidra for decompilation and communicates to Ghidra with jpype via pyhidra.

Features

all these features are ultimately provided by Ghidra

Decompile all the functions (threaded)
- to a folder (-o OUTPUT_PATH)
- to a single c file and header file (--cppexport)
Auto-downloaded symbols for supported symbol servers (-s SYMBOLS_PATH)
Specify the pdb for the binary (--sym-file-path)
Filter functions to decompile that match regex (--filter)
Apply custom data types (--gdt)

Installation

Download and install Ghidra and Java required for Ghidra.
Set Ghidra Environment Variable GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR to Ghidra install location.
Pip install ghidrecomp

Windows

PS C:\Users\user> [System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR','C:\ghidra_10.2.3_PUBLIC_20230208\ghidra_10.2.3_PUBLIC')
PS C:\Users\user> pip install ghidrecomp

Linux / Mac

export GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR="/path/to/ghidra/"
pip install ghidrecomp

Devcontainer / Docker

Avoid installing Ghidra and Java on your host by using a devcontainer.

Option 1 - Devcontainer

Use the .devcontainer in this repo. Click the above button if you have VS code installed. If this concept is new to you, check out : ghidra-python-vscode-devcontainer-skeleton quick setup which explains a bit more about dev containers.

Option 2 - Docker

Use the published repo image with Ghidra and Java already installed.

docker pull ghcr.io/clearbluejar/ghidrecomp:latest
docker run --user vscode  --rm -it ghcr.io/clearbluejar/ghidrecomp:latest bash

From within the image:
