Ghidra+LLMs really does make this a matter of time if we’re not already there yet.

Yesterday I threw some ghidra output into an LLM with very little context and got what seemed to be a reasonable run down of the original back. We're probably knocking on the door of being able to throw a binary into an LLM and getting the original program back unless there is active obfuscation done.
It is a very exciting time for anyone who likes playing old, abandoned and buggy games :').
