Advanced Training

Introduction

This training focuses on customizing the Hex-Rays decompiler. Students will learn how to extend existing decompiler passes to tweak code generation and handle specially crafted (malicious) examples. Prototyping will be done using IDAPython and then ported to the native C++ SDK.

Who would benefit from this course?

This course is suitable for advanced IDA Pro users interested in customizing the Hex-Rays decompiler using IDA Python and the C++ SDK.

What you will learn

Participants will learn to enhance the Hex-Rays decompiler by extending its capabilities through IDA Python and the C++ SDK, and managing complex code scenarios.

Prerequisites

Proficiency in IDA Pro, good knowledge of Python and C++
