Ghidra Automation with ghidra-open

The Problem

Every time you open a binary in Ghidra, you:

• Create a new project
• Import the binary
• Wait for auto-analysis
• Open the GUI

This gets tedious when analyzing many binaries.

The Solution

ghidra-open does it all in one command:

ghidra-open ./target_binary

This automatically:

• Creates a Ghidra project
• Imports the binary
• Runs headless analysis
• Launches the GUI when ready

Implementation

Uses Ghidra's headless analyzer API:

• analyzeHeadless for background processing
• Ghidra scripts for custom analysis
• Shell wrapper for CLI integration
