Frequently asked questions

Is Opcodex available to download?

No published desktop artifact has been verified for this website. The Download link leads to the configured GitHub Releases destination. If it has no compatible artifact, wait for a release rather than treating the source archive as an installer. See Installation.

Is this a new analysis engine?

No. Opcodex retains Ghidra’s decompiler, disassembler, program database, loaders, and processors. The project concentrates on the interface, integrations, and extensions.

Is Opcodex affiliated with the NSA?

Opcodex is built on Ghidra (Apache 2.0), originally developed by the NSA Research Directorate. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the NSA. See Licenses and attribution.

What is open source?

The Community project is Apache 2.0. Pro extensions are planned as separately licensed proprietary modules. Third-party components retain their own licenses. See Community vs Pro.

Does analysis send my binary to an AI provider?

The product policy requires explicit opt-in before sending binaries or analysis data to a cloud service. Pro AI workflows are planned, so provider choices and payload controls are not yet verified. Review each feature’s eventual data-handling documentation before enabling it. Website use is not consent to upload desktop project data.

Will my existing Ghidra projects and plugins work?

VERIFY compatibility against a specific Opcodex release. A shared codebase does not guarantee compatibility across version changes. Back up projects before opening them in a new build; test plugins in a disposable project.

Can I use Claude, Cursor, or Codex with Opcodex?

MCP/agent mode is planned. There is no verified server package, tool schema, or setup command yet. The client setup page lists what must be confirmed before a connection guide can be published.

Where are the application screenshots?

The website currently labels its UI preview as a placeholder. TODO: update screenshot with real dark and light captures when the new desktop UI exists.
