IDA

Hex-Rays continues to develop and support the IDA disassembler. This famous software analysis tool, which is a de-facto standard in the software security industry, is an indispensable item in the toolbox of any serious software analyst.

IDA Disassembler and Debugger is an interactive, programmable, extendible, multi-processor disassembler hosted on Windows, Linux or Mac OS X. IDA has become the de-facto standard for the analysis of hostile code, vulnerability research and COTS validation. See this executive overview for a summary of its features and uses.

Key Features:

• Multitarget Disassembler:
  • disassembler modules for a large number of processors. Our free SDK even allows you to roll your own custom disassembler.
  • full interactivity and extendability
    
    • direct, through keyboard interaction
    • through an internal programming language
    • through external plugins
  • as close as possible to the high level source code
    
    • flirt technology (fast library identification and recognition technology).
    • type system and parameter tracking and identification
  • code graphing
• Multitarget Debugger:
  • the debugger adds dynamic analysis to the information gathered statically by the disassembler.
  • offers all the features expected from a debugger and more: remote debugger, tracing.
