I've some questions about Ghidra released by NSA on Github. And research about it then saw a ycombinator thread for it. That answer was clever and funny.

As title marked, you really okay for just "open source" to trust it?

With Open Source software, I need a reason not to trust it. With proprietary software, it's the other way around. Developer being the NSA has been a reason for me not to trust Ghidra.
