Hex-Rays
State-of-the-art binary code analysis tools for reverse engineering and cybersecurity.
IDA Pro is a binary code analysis tool from Hex-Rays for disassembling, decompiling, debugging, and deobfuscating machine code. It addresses the need to understand compiled software when source code is unavailable, supporting tasks such as reverse engineering, malware analysis, vulnerability research, digital forensics, and automotive security.
Core capabilities include disassembly across 60+ processor architectures, decompilation to high-level pseudocode, dynamic debugging with breakpoints and watch lists, deobfuscation of protected binaries, and scripting for automated workflows. The product line includes IDA Pro, IDA Pro Headless for pipeline and batch use, IDA Home for hobbyists, and IDA Free for evaluating basic features. Add-ons cover team collaboration (Teams Add-on) and private function recognition (Private Lumina Add-on). Tools include hcli for license and plugin management, IDA MCP for driving IDA from an AI assistant via the Model Context Protocol, and an SDK for building custom processor modules, loaders, and plugins.
IDA is aimed at security professionals, reverse engineers, and analysts, with IDA Home and IDA Free serving hobbyists and evaluation use. Pricing is organized for organizations, individuals, and education providers, with a Classroom Program offering discounts for academic institutions. Training courses are available separately, and a Beta Program allows early access to new features.
