A list of IDA Plugins

I'll be organizing the plugins over time. Please submit PRs if you have any other outstanding plugins. I would like to tag each plugin with its corresponding IDA version, but it will take me a long time to test. If you can help there, please do.

If a plugin is only a source repo with no description or documentation, I am not adding it.

TODO

• Add more plugins
• Fork repositories and import non-github hosted repos
• Annotate each plugin with IDA version
• Organize plugins hierarchically. There's a lot of plugins with varying scopes. So until the list becomes unwieldy, I will defer this task.

Plugins

• 3DSX Loader: IDA PRO Loader for 3DSX files

• Adobe Flash disassembler: The 2 plugins present in this archive will enable IDA to parse SWF files, load all SWF tags as segments for fast search and retrieval, parse all tags that can potentially contain ActionScript2 code, discover all such code(a dedicated processor module has been written for it) and even name the event functions acording to event handled in it (eg. OnInitialize). Download

• Android Scripts Collection: Collection of Android reverse engineering scripts that make my life easier

• BinClone: BinClone: detecting code clones in malware [SERE 2014]

• BinNavi: BinNavi is a binary analysis IDE - an environment that allows users to inspect, navigate, edit, and annotate control-flow-graphs of disassembled code, do the same for the callgraph of the executable, collect and combine execution traces, and generally keep track of analysis results among a group of analysts.

• Extract Macho-O: This is a very simple IDA plugin to extract all Mach-O binaries contained anywhere in the disassembly.

• FCatalog: FCatalog (The functions catalog) is a mechanism for finding similarities between different binary blobs in an efficient manner. It is mostly useful for identifying a new binary blob is somewhat similar to a binary blob that have been encountered before. The client side of FCatalog is an IDA plugin that allows a group of reverse engineers to manage a pool of reversed functions.

• IDA Rest: A simple REST-like API for basic interoperability with IDA Pro.

• IDA Scope: IDAscope is an IDA Pro extension with the goal to ease the task of (malware) reverse engineering with a current focus on x86 Windows. It consists of multiple tabs, containing functionality to achieve different goals such as fast identification of semantically interesting locations in the analysis target, seamless access to MSDN documentation of Windows API, and finding of potential crypto/compression algorithms.

• IDA Signature Matching Tool: Tool for searching signatures inside files, extremely useful as help in reversing jobs like figuring or having an initial idea of what encryption/compression algorithm is used for a proprietary protocol or file. It can recognize tons of compression, multimedia and encryption algorithms and many other things like known strings and anti-debugging code which can be also manually added since it's all based on a text signature file read at run-time and easy to modify.

• IDA Stealth: IDAStealth is a plugin which aims to hide the IDA debugger from most common anti-debugging techniques. The plugin is composed of two files, the plugin itself and a dll which is injected into the debuggee as soon as the debugger attaches to the process. The injected dll actually implements most of the stealth techniques either by hooking system calls or by patching some flags in the remote process.

• IDA Toolbag: The IDA Toolbag plugin provides many handy features, such as:

  • A 'History' view, that displays functions in the disassembly that you have decided are important, and the relationships between them.
  • A code path-searching tool, that lets you find what functions (or blocks) are forming a path between two locations.
  • Manage and run your IDC/Python scripts
  • Something that's also of considerable importance is that the IDA Toolbag lets you collaborate with other IDA users: one can publish his 'History', or import another user's history & even merge them!
  • See the official documentation for an extensive feature list.

• IDA Xtensa: This is a processor plugin for IDA, to support the Xtensa core found in Espressif ESP8266. It does not support other configurations of the Xtensa architecture, but that is probably (hopefully) easy to implement.

• Kam1n0: Kam1n0 is a scalable system that supports assembly code clone search. It allows a user to first index a (large) collection of binaries, and then search for the code clones of a given target function or binary file. Kam1n0 tries to solve the efficient subgraph search problem (i.e. graph isomorphism problem) for assembly functions.

• Labeless: Labeless is a plugin system for dynamic, seamless and realtime synchronization between IDA Database and Olly. Labels, function names and global variables synchronization is supported.

• REProgram: A way of making almost-arbitrary changes to an executable when run under a debugger -- even changes that don't fit.

• ret-sync: ret-sync stands for Reverse-Engineering Tools synchronization. It's a set of plugins that help to synchronize a debugging session (WinDbg/GDB/LLDB/OllyDbg2/x64dbg) with IDA disassembler. The underlying idea is simple: take the best from both worlds (static and dynamic analysis).

• Snippt Detector: Snippet Detector is an IDA Python scripts project used to detect snippets from 32bit disassembled files. snippet is the word used to identify a generic sequence of instructions (at the moment a snippet is indeed a defined function). The aim of the tool is to collect many disassembled snippets inside a database for the detection process.

• Snowman Decompiler: Snowman is a native code to C/C++ decompiler. Standalone and IDA Plugin. Source Code

• Splode: Augmenting Static Reverse Engineering with Dynamic Analysis and Instrumentation

• spu3dbg: Ida Pro debugger module for the anergistic SPU emulator.

• Stingray: Stingray is an IDAPython plugin for finding function strings. The search is from the current position onwards in the current function. It can do it recursively also with configurable search depth. The results order is the natural order of strings in the BFS search graph.

• Styler: Small Plugin to change the style off Ida Pro

• Synergy: A combination of an IDAPython Plugin and a control version system that result in a new reverse engineering collaborative addon for IDA Pro. By http://cubicalabs.com/

• Xex Loader for IDA 6.6: This adds the ability to load xex files into IDA directly without having to first process them in any way. It processes the xex file as much as possible while loading to minimise the work required by the user to get it to a state fit for reversing.

• X86Emu: Its purpose is to allow a reverse engineer the chance to step through x86 code while reverse engineering a binary. The plugin can help you step through any x86 binary from any platform. For Windows binaries, many common library calls are trapped and emulated by the emulator, allowing for a higher fidelity emulation. I find it particularly useful for stepping through obfuscated code as it automatically reorganizes an IDA disassembly based on actual code paths.
