No source code? No problem. With IDA Pro, the interactive disassembler, you live in a source code-optional world. IDA can automatically analyze the millions of opcodes that make up an executable and present you with a disassembly. But at that point, your work is just beginning. With The IDA Pro Book, you'll learn how to turn that mountain of mnemonics into something you can actually use.

Hailed by the creator of IDA Pro as "profound, comprehensive, and accurate," the second edition of The IDA Pro Book covers everything from the very first steps to advanced automation techniques. You'll find complete coverage of IDA's new Qt-based user interface, as well as increased coverage of the IDA debugger, the Bochs debugger, and IDA scripting (especially using IDAPython). But because humans are still smarter than computers, you'll even learn how to use IDA's latest interactive and scriptable interfaces to your advantage.

Save time and effort as you learn to:

Navigate, comment, and modify disassembly
Identify known library routines, so you can focus your analysis on other areas of the code
Use code graphing to quickly make sense of cross references and function calls
Extend IDA to support new processors and filetypes using the SDK
Explore popular plug-ins that make writing IDA scripts easier, allow collaborative reverse engineering, and much more
Use IDA's built-in debugger to tackle hostile and obfuscated code

Whether you're analyzing malware, conducting vulnerability research, or reverse engineering software, a mastery of IDA is crucial to your success. Take your skills to the next level with this 2nd edition of The IDA Pro Book.

An awesome IDA Pro reference

January 6, 2009

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is a really good book. Definitively a complete reference on IDA Pro. Chris Eagle has gone to great lengths to put in the detailed screenshots and examples to illustrate the power of IDA. There are chapters on IDC scripting, reversing obfuscated code, etc. Every small feature of IDA is well documented. This book is a good reference for novice to advanced users. One thing that is missing (may not technically be termed missing because it was released after the book was published) is the bochs emulator support using IDA Plugins. Since it is a plugin, it cannot technically be termed missing but would have been cool to read about in this book...may be in the next edition. This is a definite buy for reverse engineering enthusiasts.

Essential book on IDA Pro

August 30, 2010

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Absolutely essential book for using and extending IDA Pro. It can be a little sparse in places, but gives the "big picture" that the IDA Pro documentation lacks. It's section on setting up the development environment for building extensions alone is worth the price of the book.

Great Read

May 23, 2010

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is not just the best book for mastering IDA Pro, it is one of the best books I've ever read. It goes in depth, from beginning to end, with IDA Pro and also explains the principles necessary to understand how to effectively reverse engineer binaries. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn a lot and read great literature along the way.

The Ultimate IDA Pro Help Resource

February 26, 2012

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

IDA Pro is a very powerful tool that is very difficult to learn and use. I am very versed in using windows applications and even difficult Unix applications to master like vi. I also did not find the IDA Pro help very useful.

If you own a copy of IDA Pro you need a copy of this book. It clearly illustrates the many nuances of using IDA Pro and is full of tips and tricks.

Bad Quality of the Book

March 15, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

The book's content is good, but the quality of the physical book is bad. It looks like someone use an original copy and put on a photocopy machine and make a second copy to form the book, then mail it to me. The words and images are not vivid enough and the pages alignment is oblique.
