# Codex Decompiler
Codex Decompiler is a Ghidra plugin that utilizes OpenAI's models to improve the decompilation and reverse engineering experience. It currently has the ability to take the disassembly from Ghidra and then feed it to OpenAI's models to decompile the code. The plugin also offers several other features to perform on the decompiled code such as finding vulnerabilities using OpenAI, generating a description using OpenAI, or decompiling the Ghidra pseudocode. Down below, you can see an example of the plugin being run in Ghidra and the available features.

![pluginDisplay](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/68412398/212231570-7047ab53-92d1-49d0-a773-720e94d0fb48.png)

The plugin supports both regular OpenAI API and Azure OpenAI API. It can be configured to use different models.

Tested on Ghidra 10.3.1 with Java versions 11.0, 17.0, and 20.0.

## Setup
1. Download the repository and move the `ghidraRevAI.py` file in the `ghidra_scripts` directory, which by default is at `$USER_HOME/ghidra_scripts`.
2. Set the environment variable `OPENAI_API_KEY` with the Api Key of OpenAI/Azure OpenAI (or just set it in the popup in the next steps).
3. Open Ghidra and import the binary to analyze.
4. Open the "Script Manager" window in the "Window" menu.
5. Select the script named `ghidraRevAI.py`, check the checkbox, and click the Play/Run Script button to run the script.
6. A series of popups will appear to help configure the plugin.
7. Each time you open Ghidra run the `ghidraRevAI.py` script again. The plugin options will be shown in the "Edit > Tool Options" window, under the "Codex-Decompiler" section.

## Usage
1. To use the plugin, go to any function inside of the Listing window and press Ctrl+J (Cmd+J on MacOS).
2. A new window should pop up where you can see different operations that can be performed on the pseudocode in the taskbar.
Here is an example of the taskbar.

Note: all of the output from OpenAI (pseudocode) is cached into the `ghidra_scripts` directory under the subfolder `output`. This is done to avoid unnecessary calls to the API which can be costly.
### List of Operations:

- ![find](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/68412398/212240274-cf901029-3fe3-4d0d-9fd0-888e67b7eb5f.png) Find vulnerabilities in the pseudocode
- ![gear](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/68412398/212240354-078b2676-e701-47c8-afb2-f5a6ecda6140.png) Decompile the pseudocode that Ghidra generated

## Limitations
For any of the aforementioned features, the output from OpenAI can be faulty and inconsistent. Thus, before doing anything with the generated pseudocode or other data, make sure that it is correct.
