scripting-ghidra-headless-analysis

scripting-ghidra-headless-analysis is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from meltedinhex/analyst-ai-pack. It costs 79 tokens per session (738 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An automation workflow for Ghidra, a program used to inspect compiled software, using its command-line analysis mode. It generates commands and follow-up scripts for importing, analyzing, and exporting results from many samples.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate headless Ghidra commands and scripts that export functions, strings, or decompiled code from imported samples.
Why use it?
It avoids repeating the same work in Ghidra’s graphical interface. Consistent batch analysis is useful when processing a collection of files or rerunning an investigation.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

scripting-ghidra-headless-analysis scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/analyst.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Scripting Ghidra Headless Analysis

When to Use

  • You need to auto-analyze many samples (or re-run a consistent analysis) without the Ghidra GUI.
  • You want to generate the analyzeHeadless command and a post-script that exports functions, strings, or decompiled output.

Do not use this to run untrusted samples — Ghidra analyzes binaries statically and never executes them, but keep the import directory isolated. This skill prepares automation, it does not run the binary.

Prerequisites

  • A Ghidra installation (analyzeHeadless in support/) and the samples to import.

Safety & Handling

  • Ghidra does not execute the sample; still store imports in an isolated, defanged directory.

Workflow

Step 1: Generate the headless command

python scripts/analyst.py command --project /proj --name Batch --import ./samples --script export.py

Builds an analyzeHeadless invocation with project path, import directory, post-script, and common flags (-recursive, -overwrite, -deleteProject optional).

Step 2: Generate a post-analysis script skeleton

python scripts/analyst.py postscript --out export.py --emit functions,strings

Emits a Ghidra Python (Jython) script that iterates functions/strings and writes JSON next to the program.

Step 3: Run and collect

Execute the generated command, then aggregate the per-sample JSON exports.

Step 4: Review

Spot-check a few exports to confirm analysis completeness before scaling up.

Validation

  • The generated command references a valid project path, import dir, and existing post-script.
  • The post-script uses real Ghidra API calls (currentProgram, getFunctionManager).
  • Output JSON is produced per imported program.

Pitfalls

  • Forgetting -overwrite/-recursive, causing skipped or duplicate imports.
  • Jython 2 syntax constraints in post-scripts (no f-strings).
  • Project lock conflicts when running multiple headless jobs on one project.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
