What is IDA Teams?

IDA Teams is the evolution of IDA into a new model that lets teams of analysts work together, using a robust client-server architecture paradigm:

We call the server at the center the “Vault Server”. It is the storage area that holds all the files and tracks modifications. This server is the central point for sharing progress across projects.

Every time a contributor publishes his·her changes to the rest of the team through the server, the change is remembered. It then becomes possible to have teams of people working together on the same project, without a risk of losing data, multiple competing "out-of-sync" versions, etc...

In addition to the new Vault Server, we have improved IDA so it can serve as a tool to perform comparisons between different refinements (i.e., "revisions"), of the same .idb file. With this new functionality, anyone can see what changes were introduced at each revision:

How does it work?

The general workflow of IDA remains unchanged: users can work within IDA (online, or offline) just like they did before.
But thanks to the IDA Teams' architecture, they now have better tools to publish their discoveries to the rest of the team (and to retrieve and benefit from the changes made by other members.)

Let's imagine a small team consisting of two analysts, Alice and Bob, working on the same project:

New tools

In addition to the Vault Server (and improvements to IDA itself), IDA Teams comes with brand new tools allowing users to interact with the server in an easy way: hvui

IDA Teams is Hex-Rays's answer to a growing need for collaboration in reverse-engineering teams. Here are a few key benefits:

Seamless integration

IDA Teams is an improved version of to IDA Pro, and only adds features to it. For the most part, existing workflows will remain untouched.

Easy collaboration

The improvements made to IDA, as well as the set of new tools, are priceless additions for dealing with large projects.

Parallelized Reverse-Engineering

IDA Teams allows you to seamlessly share the task of reverse-engineering across multiple users (potentially working simultaneously).

Revision Tracking

Discuss, review or even correct previous changes. The Vault Server keeps a ledger of who did what (and when), shedding some light onto an otherwise sometimes confusing context.

On-premises

Organizations retain all of their IP by hosting the IDA Teams themselves. In addition, it will integrate seamlessly within existing IT infrastructures (and backup strategies.) Vault Servers can be hosted on any Linux server, leaving you with a wide range of options to keep your data private and reliably accessible.

Online, or offline

The IDA Teams server being hosted on the premises, doesn't mean that users must be physically present to work: it's perfectly possible to do all the work while away and without an internet connection (e.g., on a plane), and make it available as soon as access to the server is back.

Easy Conflict Resolution

When two (or more) analysts modify the same part of a project, conflicts can arise. There as well, IDA Teams has you covered: the new features bring a set of strategies to resolve those.

Future plans

Future releases will see the collaboration-oriented features list grow, with the addition of (among other things):

Available in IDA 8.1

private Lumina servers to store & retrieve the product of analysis across different projects using shared building blocks.

improving the notion of "project" with shareable components (type libraries, scripts, …)

auto-analysis servers to perform preliminary auto-analysis

likely other tools/concepts (to be defined according to feedback)
