Kevin Thomas ✅<p>🚀 Ghidra 11.3 is here! 🚀</p><p>For those of us in reverse engineering, vulnerability research, and malware analysis, this latest release from the NSA brings some important updates:</p><p>🔹 Backward Compatibility – Existing projects from previous versions will work, but programs and data type archives created in 11.3 won’t be usable in older Ghidra versions.<br>🔹 Java 21 Required – If you’re upgrading, make sure your system is running at least JDK 21.<br>🔹 Python 3.9–3.13 Support – Debugging and full-source builds require Python 3 on your system.<br>🔹 Fix for XWindows Server Crashes – If you’ve experienced full logouts or instability, it’s likely due to CVE-2024-31083. The issue is patched in xwayland 23.2.6 and xorg-server 21.1.13—make sure your system is updated!<br>🔹 Ghidra Server Compatibility – Ghidra 11.x clients remain compatible with Ghidra 9.2+ servers, but for best results, servers older than 10.2 should be upgraded.<br>🔹 Native Component Support – Each build includes native decompiler components, but if you’re running on older shared libraries (e.g., CentOS 7.x), you might need to rebuild certain native components like the GNU Demangler.</p><p>If you’re using Ghidra for binary analysis, firmware reversing, or vulnerability research, this update brings stability improvements and potentially better import/analysis results compared to previous versions.</p><p>🔍 Pro tip: If you’ve analyzed binaries in a beta or self-built Ghidra version, re-import and reanalyze them with 11.3 to ensure accuracy.</p><p>🔥 Excited to test out the latest features! Who else is upgrading?
