Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

This second part of a guide on "Everyday Ghidra" explains how to create custom Ghidra Data Type (GDT) files from Windows headers to improve reverse engineering. You can ensure accurate and efficient analysis of binaries by using a compiler to preprocess headers before submission to Ghidra. Training Ghidra to use NDIS data types enhances the decompilation process and reveals new structures and variables for better analysis.
