Legal boundaries
- Analyze software you own or have written authorization to examine.
- Send only allowed snippets to any cloud model; prefer local models when policy requires.
- Do not use LLM helpers to plan license bypass, DRM circumvention or malware writing.
- Choose GhidrAssist when you live in the Ghidra GUI and want inline LLM help.
- Choose MCP bridges when an external agent must drive analysis.
- Always re-read the decompiler — LLMs hallucinate.
