Potentially news to those who recently got into coding/hacking. Ghidra was leaked in '17 and made headline news. Then officially released by the NSA in '19.

Because you know everything that made the headlines up to 2017?

There might or might not be discussion potential on any submission, so I understand arguing about their value, but that "news if you're a beginner" was very condescending. Why not be happy about today's lucky 10,000?

No, and I didn't mean to sound condescending. I'll take out the "only" in my message.

Edit: And to clarify what I meant, I may not have known every headline in 2017, but I sure as hell heard about most of the Vault 7 releases. An organization anonymously releasing a world power's cyber tooling is something out of a cyberpunk novel.
