Use when reverse-engineering a game (or any binary) in Ghidra via MCP or PyGhidra - establishes the apply-cascade-verify loop, the SourceType trust model that stops an agent corroborating its own guesses, invariant bracketing against Ghidra's silent collateral damage, and the game-specific evidence sources worth sweeping before any analysis.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Iterative reverse engineering in Ghidra

Ghidra is not a disassembly viewer you read from. It is an inference engine with a
persistent, versioned database. Knowledge you apply changes what the decompiler shows
you next, which is where the next round of knowledge comes from. Refusing to write to it
throws away the tool's main mechanism and is the more expensive choice.

But the loop has a failure mode batch analysis does not: **you can corroborate your own
guesses.** Apply an inference, re-read, and the confirming read looks independent when it
is not. This file is the loop and the rules that bind every round; the catalogues behind
it are in `references/`, keyed by the kind of work you are about to do.

**Confidence convention.** Claims marked *(doc)* come from Ghidra's own documentation but
have not been executed. Unmarked claims were either measured live or are project history.
Quoted numbers from one binary are examples for calibration, not properties of yours.

## Start here

**The loop below begins at `apply`, and on a binary you have just opened there is nothing
to apply yet.** Two different things bring you to this file, and they have different first

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gerev/ghidra-iterative-re/ghidra-iterative-re@sha256:a018719cd4f250af

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.e802efd, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
