EternalBlue [5] is a computer exploit software developed by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). [6] It is based on a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows that allowed users to gain access to any number of computers connected to a network.
Scripts to perform automated analysis with Ghidra can be written in Java or Python (via Jython), [8] [9] though this feature is extensible and support for other programming languages is available via community plugins. [10] Plugins adding new features to Ghidra itself can be developed using a Java-based extension framework. [11]
Since 7 October 2024, Python 3.13 is the latest stable release, and it and, for few more months, 3.12 are the only releases with active support including for bug fixes (as opposed to just for security) and Python 3.9, [55] is the oldest supported version of Python (albeit in the 'security support' phase), due to Python 3.8 reaching end-of-life.
It is a practical solution against any possible form of return-oriented programming.

This makes it possible for a penetration tester (or attacker) to compromise a whole Windows domain after compromising a single machine that was a member of that domain. Furthermore, the attack can be implemented instantaneously and without any requirement for expensive computing resources to carry out a brute force attack.
