Ghidra Firmware Utilities is a Ghidra plugin extension that provides file system loaders and custom binary loaders for analyzing PC firmware. It supports FMAP, Intel Flash Descriptor, Coreboot CBFS, PCI Option ROMs (legacy x86 and UEFI), UEFI Firmware Volumes with nested FFS files/sections, and Terse Executable (TE) images. The extension also includes a UEFI helper script that automates analysis tasks such as fixing entry point signatures, propagating UEFI global variable types, and locating known GUIDs. The code is well-structured, using factory patterns for parsing variant formats and Ghidra's file system interfaces. It relies on a native C library for EFI/Tiano decompression via JNI.
DeepZero is an automated vulnerability research pipeline engine, primarily targeting Windows kernel driver (BYOVD) analysis. It provides a highly concurrent, resumable orchestration framework where pipelines are defined declaratively in YAML. The engine supports stages: ingest, map (parallel analysis), reduce (aggregation), and bulk_map, with built-in fault tolerance, atomic state persistence, and live progress dashboards. It integrates external tools like Ghidra (headless decompilation), Semgrep (static analysis), LIEF (PE parsing), and LLM backends (LiteLLM, Claude Code) for exploitability assessment. The repository includes a full reference pipeline (loldrivers) and multiple language documentation sites. While primarily an application framework, it has strong data research characteristics due to its focus on binary corpus analysis and heuristic/AI assessment.
