LXFLoader

A Ghidra loader module for the Linear eXecutable Module Format.

Installation

Download the ZIP file from the releases to the GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR/Extensions/Ghidra directory and install the module from the File > Install extensions... menu on the main screen.

Build

If you wish to build this extension manually:

• Provide GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR environment variable containing a path to Ghidra version you want to compile against
• run gradle buildExtension
• the resulting .zip file will be placed in dist directory and can be installed as usual.

ToDos

If you are interested in hellping:

• Implement rest of the source types.
• Implemented entry points (on the binaries I tested the section was 0s - so if you have another binary please contact me).
• Implement debug section.
• Code cleanup (I was rewriting everything from spec, and some methods/names could have better naming).
• Don't use hardcoded values.
• I'm not a java developer (get rid of the emitU functions).
