Hi @velteyn, the minimum version of Ghidra DAILA works on is 11.1. Would you be able to update and test again?

[velteyn]

Ah ok thanks !! I'll do tonight

[nobodyisnobody]

daila plugin in ghidra 11.2 does not show the context menu too.

there is the DAILA entry in Tools menu, I can start the backend but no context menu on vars P.S.: I'm on ubuntu 24.04

[mahaloz]

@nobodyisnobody, can you run daila in your shell? The way that DAILA works on the backend is that when it starts in Ghidra, it calls out to daila on your shell. But I've seen issues on 24.04 with globally accessible installs.

Relevant line for reference: https://github.com/mahaloz/DAILA/blob/2ebe2a6b20c0b7d28aedb120f64aa12f235ca2b0/dailalib/daila_plugin.py#L25

[nobodyisnobody]

Well, I can run daila in my shell.

I tried on my laptop running ubuntu 22.04, on ghidra 11.2 with openjdk 21.0.4 and now it works perfectly.

So the problem is maybe linked with ubuntu 24.04, or to something else.. I have to explore more to confirm

[mahaloz]

Sorry about the typo above. Corrected it to be 24.04. Yeah I think it's possibly 24.04 specific, since the new Python limitation on global installs has caused some pain.

[nobodyisnobody]

I will try to find what's wrong on 24.04 when I'm back to my main computer.

just a question: could a model like STRIDE be implemented in Daila? https://github.com/hgarrereyn/STRIDE

seems to perform very well on var renaming & retyping

P.S.: thanks for your great work.

[mahaloz]

Sounds good @nobodyisnobody, and thank you :).

Yes, STRIDE can actually pretty easily be integrated into DAILA if they follow the same format that VarBERT did: https://github.com/binsync/varbert_api/blob/1e6a85bbde85c4111ab317979c040e7ca0a98466/varbert/api.py#L22

However, I will note that VarBERT (currently in DAILA), was shown to be more accurate than STRIDE in eval, albeit more expensive to run. For these reasons, it's been low on my priority board to implement.

[velteyn]

Now I am on GHidra 11.2 and I have the same problem :-(

[mahaloz]

@velteyn your in latest DAILA right?

[velteyn]

ops I think I forgot to upgrade first..Sorry
