🚀 Taking a quick dive into Ghidra 11.2’s stack-based string handling! 🛠️
Check out the improvements from version 11.1.2 to the new release. Stack strings have been a long time coming, but Ghidra is ever improving! 👏 #Ghidra #ReverseEngineering #everydayghidra
It’s troubling to see intrusion responses struggle due to lack of logging and visibility. Build a robust logging strategy and practice hunts to truly understand what you're monitoring and what you can trust. Incident time is a painful moment for discovery learning.
