I have some assembly code as a .txt file (i.e. a list of the instructions, stuff like this):

00000003  E8D001            call 0x1d6
00000006  A08000            mov al,[0x80]
00000009  0C00              or al,0x0
0000000B  750B              jnz 0x18
0000000D  90                nop

How would I import this into ghidra? (i.e. copy the code into the code browser window). I originally started with a .COM file, but I couldn't successfully import into Ghidra. My end goal is to compile it up to C.

This approach won't work. Ghidra analyzes machine code, not ASCII text.

  • So I should go back and try to import the .COM file into ghidra?

  • @Zopolis4 you should employ an assembler to go from assembler code to machine code. Nasm and Fasm are free-of-charge and open source options.

  • I already have the machine code, my aim is C.

  • @Zopolis4 Analyze the binary executable the code snippet was taken from. The little piece of code shown in your post is meaningless without context.

  • What would I load it the executable as? (i.e. what processor, size and compiler?)
