We are Hex-Rays. The home of IDA.

Founded in 2005, privately held, Belgium-based, Hex-Rays SA focuses on the development of fast, stable, and robust binary analysis solutions for the cyber-security market. Our world-renowned IDA Pro product is the premier solution for software disassembly and decompilation in the industry.

He is known for creating IDA and releasing a free hotfix for the Windows Metafile vulnerability (WMF). Ilfak holds Belgian citizenship and lives in Belgium with his family.
 
 

Today, Ilfak and the company employees are the largest shareholders of Smartsec SA, the parent company of Hex-Rays SA. At the end of 2022, a consortium of investors led by Smartfin, a leading European venture capital and private equity investor, along with co-investors SFPIM, Belgium's Sovereign Wealth Fund, Wallonie Entreprendre, a regional investment fund that provides support to businesses in Wallonia, and serial entrepreneur Philippe-Alexandre Leroux, joined the adventure to bolster the company's ambitions.
