  1. The new #IDA UI quality of life improvements are pretty nice, especially jump anywhere and pathfinder. I'm starting to like them!

    Digging deeper into the SDK now, some recent changes in IDA 9.4 might impact my idalib-based plugins (hopefully in a good way).

  3. This malware is pretty cool, it took me a while to get to the 4th obfuscation layer myself in IDA even when using a deobfuscation plugin myself, mixes its own obfuscated code deep in legitimate "goodware" code, uses lots of MBAs, has anti-VM tricks. High quality malware.

  7. @MishaVelthuis : firstly, I am definitely not an AI expert.

    W.r.t. source code analysis: in fact one does not need "source code" (e.g. higher level languages) to be able to spot bugs. More or less like you wrote, in the end every computer program contains sequences of instructions for the targeted CPU (including calls to, possibly documented, operating system and other libraries).

    Reverse engineers love decompilers because assembler code is a lot harder to interpret *by humans* than higher level source code (it can be done, I did it approx. 30 - 40 years ago for various CPU architectures, but it is very time consuming and error-prone).

    Malware typically consist of (highly) obfuscated code to fool decompilers and emulators. I've not studied it but probably the anti-malware industry is already using AI to help them analyse malware (and, feeding the rat race, quite likely malware makers are using AI to obfuscate their code).

    Internet search terms such as "malware analysis llm" may possibly help you to find related articles.

    Regardless, IMO not possessing the original source code should not pose a major hurdle for finding bugs in executable code.

  13. #Vast’s Large Docking Adapter has a 2.9-meter pressurized opening, it reaches up to 6.6 square meters — offering roughly 13 times more area than the #IDA. Vast claims it is up to 30 times more rigid than the International Docking Adapter. The company plans to #OpenSource the Large Docking Adapter Standard next month, inviting other #spacecraft and station developers to implement it nasaspaceflight.com/2026/04/va

  17. Is @HexRaysSA going to be the one company to not fully succumb to LLM hype in 2026?! 🤯

    Reading through their 2026 Direction and Priorities for #IDA, I get the impression that they're making IDA more instrumentable rather than directly integrating LLMs. This benefits anyone who want to integrate IDA into workflows, not just "agents"

    If that means we're getting a sane, modern API, and AI bloat is kept in plugins out of the core product, then you go folks!

  20. Just shipped updates for rhabdomancer, haruspex, and augur. Now compatible with @HexRaysSA IDA 9.3 and @xorpse's idalib-rs 8.0.

    These headless #IDA plugins are built for #VulnerabilityResearch workflows where you want IDA's power without the GUI. This release brings a bunch of small improvements and bug fixes.

  21. #IDA 9.3 by @HexRaysSA is out!

    Looking forward to digging into this release and finishing porting my tools. Stay tuned.

  22. Рвём call-graph или «Как я самому себе реверс усложнял»

    Так сложилось, что меня всегда интересовала тема реверса, дизассембла и вообще того, как выглядит бинарь изнутри, особенно с точки зрения всяких кряков. Многие пользовались разным софтом, в который уже встроены обходы лицензий, а кто-то, вполне возможно, даже вспомнит тот качевый музон, который воспроизводили всякого рода KeyGen.exe . Но для того, чтобы крякнуть программу, нужно понять, что и где патчить, и какая функция отвечает за валидацию лицензии. Для этого и существуют программы вроде IDA Pro . Помимо дизассемблирования они умеют генерировать псевдокод на C , строить графы вызовов и много чего еще. И ведь никто не хочет, чтобы крякнули именно его софт? А чтобы этому противостоять, надо понимать как это работает и где можно вставить палки в колеса тем, кто будет анализировать ваш бинарь. Для этого я решил создать что-то типа небольшой лабораторной, в которой посмотрю как строят связи статические анализаторы и что можно сделать, чтобы этому противостоять.

  23. I pushed an early version of REshare IDA exporter:

    https://github.com/v-p-b/reshare-ida/blob/main/reshare-ida-export.py

    I don't have time to run x-platform tests right now, but if you do I'd appreciate any bug reports!

  24. Another fun tidbit:

    ```
    if my_type.is_func():
    for _ in my_type.iter_func():
    pass
    ```

    ...sometimes(!) results in a 'Type is not a function' TypeError

    #fml #IDA
  25. I'm parsing the #IDA type info library and it turns out:

    - Sometimes struct member names are not returned. Sometimes!
    - The first struct member is at offset 94489263476241, but amazingly the second one is at 8.

    Just in case you wonder why I drink...

    Edit: that weird value is somewhat random too, so I suspect a memory leak
