0631 i'm on my truck laptop! i'm kinda freaking out a bit, but being able to stand up was great. i'm not set up for reverse engineering, and i only have two systems with large displays for extensive work like that if done manually. this is one of them. the other is [airgapped] but not set up amazingly yet. 0632 i just want to build ghidra from source for fun :) it can probably run while other things are looke at. this is redhat, switch to jdk 11 ... 0648 well all this stuff takes ages to download. but isn't it fun to plan and desire to work on it! ummmm while ghidra is downloading, maybe i'll download ida pro too. 0701 woohoo i booted up ghidra! i'm running the binary package. source is still downloading dependencies. hopefully it's just like ida pro but with intuitive buttons that make things happen automatically. 0704 ooooh the code browser interface looks similar to ida! [some text lost as i confusedly attempt to navigate my system] 0721 i found the curious hexadecimal strings in the ghidra disassembly. they're used from a function still on the dissassembler queue. oh no, it seems to be dissasembled now. the decompilation looks like garbage. no transformer models in ghidra yet ;p. 0726 woahhh i have two edit windows for this email open, and they have different content. my mind doesn't want to find one from the other. i just keep landing on them at separate moments. 0727 ok. here are the missing spamloglines: -- 0715 the analysis progress meter is in the lower right in ghidra codebrowser, not where one expects from ida! sneaky! let's see if we can find those hexadecimal strings ... 0726 the big content is d8d5b3ead919ae8be99c725432686e4f69bd58f9fc1d6c08b2303b72062d55038ec6df0355b46e0731707e818480a87e832cbc7556c33f272b1856815b712a3cf06b6a3d96dbe2ca1ee8ce63e4d66049b4ef48c057c570e9718b06e4bcd6758c0eeaeaee186581382ad1c6c1abe2862b76ae39d9ee1f00fece695fd9abbf04404425c897e18fdb33b72058cdd30e80d30dd7ded3493191208191a63787e5be2a215caf9a43ebaddeb8df5592d0 -- end of missing spamlog lines. gonna just send this spam
