NSA
The National Security Agency, a U.S. Department of Defense intelligence agency primarily responsible for signals intelligence collection, cryptanalysis, and cybersecurity. It is one of the largest intelligence organizations in the United States.
Core Facts
WannaCry exploited the EternalBlue vulnerability leaked from the NSA in 2017, causing infections in more than 200 countries and regions worldwide.
Ghidra was developed by the NSA and open-sourced in 2019.

Timeline (last 90 days)
IDA is commercial software known for its powerful interactive analysis and plugin ecosystem; Ghidra was open-sourced by the NSA and provides a decompiler and an extensible scripting framework; Hopper is a commercial disassembler for macOS/Linux.
The video claims that the NSA's decompiler failed on the task of extracting the DX-Ball formulas.
The b coefficient of each NIST curve is obtained by taking the SHA-1 of a 20-byte seed; the seeds were provided by the NSA and their origin has never been publicly explained.
The incident currently stems mainly from a single source (a Reddit post and the Anthropic document), and no formal response from an independent third party (such as the NSA or the cryptography community) has yet been seen.
A user claimed that Anthropic's Claude model solved a cryptography puzzle that had stumped the NSA for 25 years in 30 minutes.
Under the hood, REA calls the free open-source Ghidra (from the NSA) and the commercial standard IDA Pro.
Ghidra is a disassembly and decompilation framework open-sourced by the US National Security Agency (NSA), supports multiple instruction sets and file formats, is free to use, and supports script extension.
The NIST curve was once suspected of containing an NSA-planted backdoor, but after the Dual_EC_DRBG incident, such concerns have focused mainly on that random number generator rather than on the curve itself.
Documents leaked by Snowden in 2013 showed that the Dual_EC_DRBG algorithm may have been backdoored by the NSA: as long as one possesses a certain secret constant, one can reverse-derive the internal state from a given output and thereby predict subsequent random numbers.
The FBI, CISA, and NSA jointly issued security advisory AA26-281A on the same day, pointing to a Chinese company providing support for large-scale scanning campaigns.
