Ghidra Emulator | New Tool in 10.3!

Ghidra 10.3 has recently released brought with it a new tool. Today, we are going to look at Ghidra's Emulator!
We can now launch an executable that has its strings encoded during static analysis and then read the clear text dynamically in memory with the Ghidra Emulator.
We will be using an executable found in Craig Young's post called "First Look: Ghidra 10.3 Emulator" which does a quick yet detailed dive into this new tools.
No need for x64dbg and Ghidra side-by-side!

Great to see another video man. We need to catch up some time so I can tell you about the cool work I'm doing now.

[@stryker2k2]

Jeff! That would be awesome! I saw your job posting on LinkedIn... it looks like you all are getting ready to do something big!

Another sub on this one man.. Good work, I can see you at 100k subscribers already :) Consistency is key old friend

[@stryker2k2]

Justin! Thanks a ton, brother!

[@ourcer]

You gained a follower. Nice video man, thanks for that

[@stryker2k2]

Thanks for the follow!

[@travisflesher8798]

Great Job Stryker! Keep it up!

[@stryker2k2]

Thanks!

[@rickr530]

OK Bro, I appreciate what you're doing but I have my doubts that anyone who needs to watch your video to figure out how to install Ghidra and Corretto is going to have much success at reverse engineering. These tools are easy to install and well documented. :)

Truer words have never been spoken! You're 100% right. Which is what makes this channel... unique. None of this material existed when I was trying to learn. I spent countless hours watching crappy videos with horrible over-modulated music reading the notepad they put on screen to replace their verbal words. So, although this is nowhere near as techy as it can be... and will never get a lot of views... well, I'm okay with that. My audience is the "Young Stryker2k2" who doesn't know where to start.

And I'm up here!

[@stryker2k2]

Yeehaw! First comment! Way to go!

[@MarKac9090]

great video! BTW. if you have spare time could you please make another one how to use Ghidra debugger on Windows or Linux.. it's very confusing and I did not managed to get it running. Also how did you increased the font?

[@stryker2k2]

Sounds like a great idea for a video!

[@WarriorOfSneak]

You can drag and drop your file on the "dragon" or "gears" to open it.

[@stryker2k2]

Yep, indeed you can. I've demonstrated that in other videos as well. Thank you for pointing that out :)

[@Block81838]

Great feature but I'm always confused about the usage. I try to emulate the program in the emulator when debugging, i cannot even find out where the console output is. 😢

[@stryker2k2]

It is a very strange implementation. Even I struggle to understand it. Whenever I figure out something new, I try to make a video about it 🤣

[@Block81838]

@@stryker2k2 True, but thanks to your vid, I do rly learn more about this feature 😉

[@polinimalossi8404]

yes exactly I would like to crack imusic with ghidra can you bring a tutorial about it?

[@dewmi4403]

He was busy so I'm here for you

[@turtlesandals797]

Does the emulator work for ARM?

[@stryker2k2]

I'm sure it does but I don't have an ARM sample to test it out on.
