Introduction IDA has debugging support for multiple architectures, such as Intel x86, ARM, PowerPC, MIPS, and, since IDA 7.4, Motorola 68k, Infineon TriCore, and Renesas RH850. Some of these architectures are natively supported, either locally through IDA (x86-only), or remotely through the use of debugger servers (x86 and ARM). The other architectures listed above are supported […]

Typically, that language will be Python, and one can use helpers such as idc.here() to retrieve the address of the cursor location. However, when some debuggers such as […]
Read MoreIntended audience IDA 7.2 users, who have experience with IDAPython and/or the decompiler. The problem As you may already know, the decompilers allow not only decompiling the current function (shortcut F5) but also all the functions in the database (shortcut Ctrl+F5).A somewhat less-well known feature of the “multiple” decompilation, is that if a range is selected (for example […]
