go-idalib

Go bindings for the IDA 9.0 SDK via idalib

Why? 🤔

Everyone deserves bindings, even gophers!

Warning

NEED HELP
With fleshing out the rest of the objects like Function etc and library C++ wrappers to get to a MVP.

Getting Started

Requirements

• IDA Pro 9.0 or newer installation (with a valid license)

go get github.com/blacktop/go-idalib

ida demo tool

Install

go install github.com/blacktop/go-idalib/cmd/ida@latest

Usage

❯ ida path/to/i64

   • Function count: 22140
   • 1st Function: 0x15a87c2f0

Decompiled Function:

int __fastcall memset_s(void *s, size_t smax, int c, size_t n)
{
  size_t v4; // x8
  int v5; // w19

  if ( !s )
    return 22;
  if ( (smax & 0x8000000000000000LL) != 0 )
    return 7;
  if ( n >= smax )
    v4 = smax;
  else
    v4 = n;
  if ( n <= smax )
    v5 = 0;
  else
    v5 = 84;
  memset(s, c, v4);
  return v5;
}

Print Version

❯ ida version
   • IDA library version: 9.0.241217

Known Issues

Warning

idalib cannot function correctly when not running on the same thread that you initialized the library on. Right now I am not doing anything to ensure Go doesn't create/switch threads so it will 'freeze' if you do anything too long/complex.

Development

Requirements

• swig

Unzip IDA 9.0 SDK in root directory to build

make build
