 # Ghidra integration
-If you use Ghidra, then you can use the [capa + Ghidra integration](/capa/ghidra/) to run capa's analysis directly on your Ghidra database and render the results in Ghidra's user interface.
+
+capa supports using Ghidra (via [PyGhidra](https://github.com/NationalSecurityAgency/ghidra/tree/master/Ghidra/Features/PyGhidra)) as a feature extraction backend. This allows you to run capa against binaries using Ghidra's analysis engine.
+
+You can run and view capa results in the Ghidra UI using [capa explorer for Ghidra](https://github.com/mandiant/capa/tree/master/capa/ghidra/plugin).

+You can also run capa from the command line using the [Ghidra backend](https://github.com/mandiant/capa/tree/master/capa/ghidra).

+# capa analysis using Ghidra

-# capa + Ghidra
+capa supports using Ghidra (via [PyGhidra](https://github.com/NationalSecurityAgency/ghidra/tree/master/Ghidra/Features/PyGhidra)) as a feature extraction backend. This enables you to run capa against binaries using Ghidra's analysis engine.

-[capa](https://github.com/mandiant/capa) is the FLARE team’s open-source tool that detects capabilities in executable files. [Ghidra](https://github.com/NationalSecurityAgency/ghidra) is an open-source software reverse engineering framework created and maintained by the National Security Agency Research Directorate. capa + Ghidra brings capa’s detection capabilities directly to Ghidra’s user interface helping speed up your reverse engineering tasks by identifying what parts of a program suggest interesting behavior, such as setting a registry value. You can execute the included Python 3 scripts [capa_explorer.py](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mandiant/capa/master/capa/ghidra/capa_explorer.py) or [capa_ghidra.py](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mandiant/capa/master/capa/ghidra/capa_ghidra.py) to run capa’s analysis and view the results in Ghidra. You may be asking yourself, “Python 3 scripts in Ghidra?”. You read that correctly. This integration is written entirely in Python 3 and relies on [Ghidrathon]( https://github.com/mandiant/ghidrathon), an open source Ghidra extension that adds Python 3 scripting to Ghidra.
-
-Check out our capa + Ghidra blog posts:

-
-## UI Integration
-[capa_explorer.py](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mandiant/capa/master/capa/ghidra/capa_explorer.py) renders capa results in Ghidra's UI to help you quickly navigate them. This includes adding matched functions to Ghidra’s Symbol Tree and Bookmarks windows and adding comments to functions that indicate matched capabilities and features. You can execute this script using Ghidra’s Script Manager window.
-
-### Symbol Tree Window
-Matched functions are added to Ghidra's Symbol Tree window under a custom namespace that maps to the capabilities' [capa namespace](https://github.com/mandiant/capa-rules/blob/master/doc/format.md#rule-namespace).

-</div>
-
-### Comments
-
-Comments are added at the beginning of matched functions indicating matched capabilities and inline comments are added to functions indicating matched features. You can view these comments in Ghidra’s Disassembly Listing and Decompile windows.

-</div>
-
-### Bookmarks
-
-Bookmarks are added to functions that matched a capability that is mapped to a MITRE ATT&CK and/or Malware Behavior Catalog (MBC) technique. You can view these bookmarks in Ghidra's Bookmarks window.

-</div>
-
-## Text-based Integration
-
-[capa_ghidra.py](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mandiant/capa/master/capa/ghidra/capa_ghidra.py) outputs text-based capa results that mirror the output of capa’s standalone tool. You can execute this script using Ghidra’s Script Manager and view its output in Ghidra’s Console window.

-2. Download and extract the [official capa rules](https://github.com/mandiant/capa-rules/releases) that match the capa version you have installed. You can use the following command to view the version of capa you have installed:
+## getting started
+
+### requirements
+
+- [Ghidra](https://github.com/NationalSecurityAgency/ghidra) >= 12.0 must be installed and available via the `GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR` environment variable.
+
+#### standalone binary (recommended)
+
+The capa [standalone binary](https://github.com/mandiant/capa/releases) is the preferred way to run capa with the Ghidra backend.
+Although the binary does not bundle the Java environment or Ghidra itself, it will dynamically load them at runtime.
+
+#### python package
+
+You can also use the Ghidra backend with the capa Python package by installing `flare-capa` with the `ghidra` extra.
+
 ```bash
-$ pip show flare-capa
-OR
-$ capa --version
+$ pip install "flare-capa[ghidra]"
 ```

-3. Copy [capa_explorer.py](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mandiant/capa/master/capa/ghidra/capa_explorer.py) and [capa_ghidra.py](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mandiant/capa/master/capa/ghidra/capa_ghidra.py) to your `ghidra_scripts` directory or manually add the parent directory of each script using Ghidra’s Script Manager.
+### usage

-## Usage
+To use the Ghidra backend, specify it with the `-b` or `--backend` flag:

-You can execute [capa_explorer.py](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mandiant/capa/master/capa/ghidra/capa_explorer.py) and [capa_ghidra.py](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mandiant/capa/master/capa/ghidra/capa_ghidra.py) using Ghidra’s Script Manager. [capa_ghidra.py](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mandiant/capa/master/capa/ghidra/capa_ghidra.py) can also be executed using Ghidra's Headless Analyzer.
-
-### Execution using Ghidra’s Script Manager
-
-You can execute [capa_explorer.py](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mandiant/capa/master/capa/ghidra/capa_explorer.py) and [capa_ghidra.py](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mandiant/capa/master/capa/ghidra/capa_ghidra.py) using Ghidra's Script Manager as follows:
-1. Navigate to `Window > Script Manager`
-2. Expand the `Python 3 > capa` category
-3. Double-click a script to execute it
-
-Both scripts ask you to provide the path of your capa rules directory (see installation step 2). [capa_ghidra.py](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mandiant/capa/master/capa/ghidra/capa_ghidra.py) also has you choose one of `default`, `verbose`, and `vverbose` output formats which mirror the output formats of capa’s standalone tool.
-
-### Execution using Ghidra’s Headless Analyzer
-
-You can execute [capa_ghidra.py](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mandiant/capa/master/capa/ghidra/capa_ghidra.py) using Ghidra’s Headless Analyzer by invoking the `analyzeHeadless` script included with Ghidra in its `support` directory. The following arguments must be provided:
-
-| Argument | Description |
-|----|----|
-|`<project_path>`| Path to Ghidra project|
-| `<project_name>`| Name of Ghidra Project|
-| `-Process <sample_name>` OR `-Import <sample_path>`| Name of sample `<sample_name>` already imported into `<project_name>` OR absolute path of sample `<sample_path>` to import into `<project_name>`|
-| `-ScriptPath <script_path>`| OPTIONAL parent directory `<script_path>` of [capa_ghidra.py](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mandiant/capa/master/capa/ghidra/capa_ghidra.py)|
-| `-PostScript capa_ghidra.py`| Execute [capa_ghidra.py](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mandiant/capa/master/capa/ghidra/capa_ghidra.py) after Ghidra analysis|
-| `"<script_args>"`| Quoted string `"<script_args>"` containing script arguments passed to [capa_ghidra.py](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mandiant/capa/master/capa/ghidra/capa_ghidra.py) that must specify a capa rules path and optionally the output format (`--verbose`, `--vverbose`, `--json`) – you can specify `”help”` to view the script’s help message |
-
-The following is an example of combining these arguments into a single `analyzeHeadless` script command:
 ```bash
-$ analyzeHeadless /home/wumbo/demo demo -Import /home/wumbo/capa/tests/data/Practical\ Malware\ Analysis\ Lab\ 01-01.dll_ -PostScript capa_ghidra.py "/home/wumbo/capa/rules --verbose"
+$ capa -b ghidra /path/to/sample
 ```
+
+capa will:
+1.  Initialize a headless Ghidra instance.
+2.  Create a temporary project.
+3.  Import and analyze the sample.
+4.  Extract features and match rules.
+5.  Clean up the temporary project.
+
+**Note:** The first time you run this, it may take a few moments to initialize the Ghidra environment.

+# capa explorer for Ghidra
+
+capa explorer for Ghidra brings capa’s detection capabilities directly to Ghidra’s user interface helping speed up your reverse engineering tasks by identifying what parts of a program suggest interesting behavior, such as setting a registry value. You can execute (via [PyGhidra](https://github.com/NationalSecurityAgency/ghidra/tree/master/Ghidra/Features/PyGhidra)) the script [capa_explorer.py](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mandiant/capa/master/capa/ghidra/plugin/capa_explorer.py) using Ghidra’s Script Manager window to run capa’s analysis and view the results in Ghidra.
+
+## ui integration
+[capa_explorer.py](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mandiant/capa/master/capa/ghidra/capa_explorer.py) renders capa results in Ghidra's UI to help you quickly navigate them. This includes adding matched functions to Ghidra’s Symbol Tree and Bookmarks windows and adding comments to functions that indicate matched capabilities and features. You can execute this script using Ghidra’s Script Manager window.
+
+### symbol tree window
+Matched functions are added to Ghidra's Symbol Tree window under a custom namespace that maps to the capabilities' [capa namespace](https://github.com/mandiant/capa-rules/blob/master/doc/format.md#rule-namespace).
+<div align="center">
+    <img src="https://github.com/mandiant/capa/assets/66766340/eeae33f4-99d4-42dc-a5e8-4c1b8c661492" width=300>
+</div>
+
+### comments
+
+Comments are added at the beginning of matched functions indicating matched capabilities and inline comments are added to functions indicating matched features. You can view these comments in Ghidra’s Disassembly Listing and Decompile windows.
+<div align="center">
+    <img src="https://github.com/mandiant/capa/assets/66766340/bb2b4170-7fd4-45fc-8c7b-ff8f2e2f101b" width=1000>
+</div>
+
+### bookmarks
+
+Bookmarks are added to functions that matched a capability that is mapped to a MITRE ATT&CK and/or Malware Behavior Catalog (MBC) technique. You can view these bookmarks in Ghidra's Bookmarks window.
+<div align="center">
+    <img src="https://github.com/mandiant/capa/assets/66766340/7f9a66a9-7be7-4223-91c6-4b8fc4651336" width=825>
+</div>
+
+# getting started
+
+## requirements
+
+- [Ghidra](https://github.com/NationalSecurityAgency/ghidra) >= 12.0 must be installed.
+- [flare-capa](https://pypi.org/project/flare-capa/) >= 10.0 must be installed (virtual environment recommended) with the `ghidra` extra (e.g., `pip install "flare-capa[ghidra]"`).
+- [capa rules](https://github.com/mandiant/capa-rules) must be downloaded for the version of capa you are using.
+
+## execution
+
+### 1. run Ghidra with PyGhidra
+You must start Ghidra using the `pyghidraRun` script provided in the support directory of your Ghidra installation to ensure the Python environment is correctly loaded. You should execute `pyghidraRun` from within the Python environment that you used to install capa.
+
+```bash
+<ghidra_install>/support/pyghidraRun
+```
+
+### 2. run capa_explorer.py
+1. Open your Ghidra project and CodeBrowser.
+2. Open the Script Manager.
+3. Add [capa_explorer.py](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mandiant/capa/master/capa/ghidra/plugin/capa_explorer.py) to the script directories.
+4. Filter for capa and run the script.
+5. When prompted, select the directory containing the downloaded capa rules.
