k20 - How Ghidra changed my life - Chris Eagle

Chris Eagle introduces blc, an IDA Pro plugin that integrates Ghidra's decompiler engine to support decompilation for all Ghidra-supported processors.

Anyone that knows me also knows that I'm a huge IDA Pro fanboy. Ghidra, the NSA's answer to IDA, has been in the public's hands for about a year now, so where does that leave me? Still solidly in the IDA camp, but that doesn't mean that Ghidra hasn't had an impact on my life. Thanks to the magic of open source we can take one of Ghidra's nicest features and bolt it onto IDA to fill some gaps in IDA coverage. In this talk, I'll introduce the 'Binary Lifting Component' (it's kinder name), or just blc for short, plugin for IDA. blc takes the core of Ghidra's decompiler capability and builds an IDA plugin around it to add decompilation capability to IDA for all processors supported by Ghidra.
