Hex-Rays IDA Pro 9.0.240925

Hex-Rays IDA Pro Overview

The IDA Disassembler and Debugger is an interactive, programmable, extendible, multi-processor disassembler hosted on Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X.

It has become the de facto standard for analyzing malicious code, vulnerability research, and COTS validation. This executive overview summarizes its features and uses.

The IDA Disassembler offers as much interactivity as possible. Anything in the disassembly can be modified, manipulated, rearranged, or redefined.

Obfuscated code is frequently present in today's malicious code; the exact distinction between code and data is an art rather than a science. An internal scripting language complements the IDA Disassembler's interactivity, as does a Windows application/kernel debugger and a Linux application debugger.
