What is the difference between Ghidra and Ida?
IDA supports some architectures that Ghidra doesn’t, and vice versa. IDA has a debugger whereas Ghidra does not. Ghidra has the ability to load multiple binaries at once into a project, whereas IDA support for this is limited and mostly an ugly hack. This means that you can trace code between an application and its libraries more easily.
How to create function call graphs in Ida?
We do this by choosing View > Graphs > ‘Xrefs from’ in the menus. In IDA, it looks like the following. When I first went looking for an equivalent in Ghidra, I had a hard time finding it.
How to show function call tree in Ghidra?
If the graphs are somewhat confusing to you, though, you can also use the Show Function Call Tree button to bring up a couple of pains that show the same info textually And on the right, the outgoing calls.
What do you need to know about Ghidra reverse engineering?
Try highlighting one of the “if” statements in the decompiler and you’ll notice that it highlights the corresponding assembly. That’s one of the features I really like about Ghidra, since it allows you to build a mental mapping of what groups of assembly instructions map to which high-level instructions.
How to go forwards and backwards in Ghidra?
Navigate forwards and backwards by clicking the arrow icons in the top left by the save icon, or using the shortcuts “Alt-Left Arrow Key” and “Alt-Right Arrow Key”. See if you can find out what function each “CALL .text” instruction is calling and edit the labels to the appropriate name.
How to change the function graph in Ghidra?
The function graph can similarly be customized using the “Edit the listing fields” button. Graphs in Ghidra won’t display comment fields by default, try adding them using the field editor. You’ll notice that it behaves a little different from IDA Pro’s graph mode and does not start fully zoomed in.
