A partial list of papers where IDA Pro plays a role is visible her e.

Quite a mouthful, isnt it We are aware that the above speaks only to geeks.

The raison dtre of this small document is to clarify the nature and the purpose of IDA to the non-technical user.

The real interest of a disassembler is that it shows the instructions that are actually executed by the processor in a symbolic representation called assembly language.

If the friendly screen saver you have just installed is spying on your e-banking session or logging your e-mails, a disassembler can reveal it.

IDA Pro V7.1 Code More Readable

Thats why advanced techniques have been implemented into IDA Pro to make that code more readable, in some cases, quite close to the original source code that produced the binary program.

The map of the programs code then can be postprocessed for further investigation.

The debugger in IDA Pro complements the static analysis capabilities of the disassembler: by allowing an analyst to single step through the code being investigated, the debugger often bypasses the obfuscation and helps obtain data that the more powerful static disassembler will be able to process in depth.

IDA Pro can be used as a local and as a remote debugger on various platforms, including the ubiquitous 80x86 (typically WindowsLinux) and the ARM platform (typically Windows CE PDAs) and other platforms.

Remote debuggers are very useful when one wants to safely dissect potentially harmful programs.

Some IDA debuggers can run the application in a virtual environment: this makes malware analysis even safer.

In sharp contrast with its predecessors, IDA always allows the human analyst to override its decisions or to provide hints.

Interactivity culminates in a built-in programming language and an open plugin architecture.

For more advanced tasks, our open plugin architecture puts no limits on what external developers can do to enhance IDA Pros functionality.

One could, for example, extend IDA Pro with a MP3 player and make malware sing.

However, we suspect our governmental customers are involved in more serious projects.

IDA Pro has become such a standard in the field of malware analysis that information about new viruses is often exchanged under the form of IDA Databases.

The 2001 CODE RED incident is typical of what usually happens in the background.

When eEye isolated a new worm whose payload targeted the White Houses web site, IDA Pro was used to analyse and understand it: it helped the talented eEye analysts deliver a prompt and accurate warning of the impending attack.

IDA Pro, anti-virus analysts investigate new virus samples and provide timely solutions.

IDA Pro V7.1 Software Is Unfortunately

While the topic of vulnerability disclosure remains, more than ever, controversial, one cannot ignore the fact that software is unfortunately often vulnerable to outside attacks.

It is, without any doubt, a bad idea to let vulnerabilities lurk in essential pieces of software: if they arent fixed, they could very well be exploited by what we usually call the bad guys.

The Wisconsin Safety Analyzer is a very interesting project investigating software vulnerability and tamper resistance where IDA Pro plays an important role.

Since programs are incredibly hard to verify, since complete source code audit and rebuilds arent always practical, tools, such as IDA provide a convenient means to check if a program really does what it claims to do.

In some cases, such as in what is known as the Sony Rootkit story, IDA Pro helps protect your essential rights.

IDA Pro has generated quite a lot of interest in academic circles.
