A list of IDA Plugins

Update 10/02/2015 I'll be organizing the plugins this weekend. 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
• Organize plugins hierarchically
• Fork repositories and import non-github hosted repos
• Annotate each plugin with IDA version

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

• 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.

• WinIOCtlDecoder: An IDA Pro plugin which decodes a Windows Device I/O control code into DeviceType, FunctionCode, AccessType and MethodType.

• 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.
