IDA Pro (Interactive DisAssembler) by Hex-Rays is a professional binary analysis platform used for reverse engineering, malware analysis, vulnerability research, and firmware inspection. It combines interactive disassembly, deep code navigation, and extensibility via scripts/plugins. With the (optional / license-dependent) Hex-Rays Decompiler, you can also generate readable pseudocode for supported targets.

What IDA Pro can do:
System requirements:
Included files:
Licensing note (important):
IDA Pro is commercial software. Use a valid license (named/computer/floating) and activate via the official Hex-Rays portal / License Manager. If you only need basics, consider IDA Free or IDA Home.



What IDA Pro can do:
- Interactive disassembly with smart analysis, function recognition, and cross-references (Xrefs)
- Graph view for control-flow visualization and faster code understanding
- Powerful navigation: strings, imports/exports, segments, structures, enums, and signatures
- Scripting & automation via IDAPython and IDC (plus C++ SDK for plugins)
- Debugging workflows (local/remote options depend on setup and platform)
- Wide coverage: supports many file formats (PE/ELF/Mach-O and more) and dozens of CPU families
System requirements:
- Minimum (official): Windows 8 or later (64-bit / x64)
- Recommended: Windows 10/11 x64, SSD storage, and enough RAM/CPU for large databases (malware, firmware, big executables)
- Optional: Python 3+ installed for IDAPython scripting/automation
Included files:
- idapro_90_x64win.exe — IDA Pro 9.0 installer for Windows x64
- IDALicense.py — licensing/activation helper script (use only with a valid Hex-Rays license)
