An author-published static investigation of a Linux netcat binary, with REA evidence files, Ghidra findings and cross-checks against standard binary tools.
An author-published static investigation of a Linux netcat binary, with REA evidence files, Ghidra findings and cross-checks against standard binary tools. The repository names REA 6.2.0 and Ghidra 12.1.4 and links its raw analysis artifacts. Its reported findings are static, not a runtime test. The target is already open source. This is a research write-up, not a new netcat implementation or proof that a binary is safe.
