Ghidra python - get program base address

Question

What is the way to get the program base address in Ghidra?

Answer 1

You can use currentProgram.getImageBase() to obtain the base address. This returns an Address object.

Example

>>> currentProgram.getImageBase()
00400000

>>> type(currentProgram.getImageBase())
<type 'ghidra.program.model.address.GenericAddress'>

>>> currentProgram.getImageBase().getOffset()
4194304L

>>> hex(currentProgram.getImageBase().getOffset())
'0x400000L'
