the content seems fine, but the kindle version doesn't have an index of any kind. you just have to flip through (slowly) to find the chapter or page you want.

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.

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.

If you sit down and go through it in detail it'll make you significantly better at using IDA on a daily basis
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 1, 2015Verified Purchase
The definitive guide to IDA, many claim to have read it, few have actually done so. If you sit down and go through it in detail it'll make you significantly better at using IDA on a daily basis. The chapters on scripting IDA though need improvement.

A classic
Reviewed in Germany on June 1, 2019Verified Purchase
Even after a few years, this book is still a classic.
I like to do some "light" reverse engineering, and this books is good if one wants to improve his tooling skills (of course, one doesn't learn reversing from it) - generally, to learn many small useful things that are not obvious to newcomers.
I had a look at the IDA 7.0 release notes, and there's nothing major that is relevant to this book, so there's no real need for an updated edition.

Must-have for IDA Pro users and hackers ...
Reviewed in Germany on January 7, 2012Verified Purchase
I had already bought the first edition when it came out and rushed to order the second edition accordingly.
This book is an invaluable reference and tutorial into the many aspects of IDA Pro. IDA gets continuously extended and improved and while IDAPython was already existent when the first edition of this title came out, it was not really explained in detail. The new proximity view in IDA Pro is not explained in this edition, for example. Which is to show how hard it is for a book author to keep up with the developer team at Hex-Rays.
IDAPython is now explained in detail and although I haven't read this one cover to cover like I did with the first edition, I could already see that the improvements stretch beyond this particular topic.
The book explains the just about any aspect of IDA Pro, from the surface (the GUI ) deep into the bowels of it (writing plugins and processor modules, certain internals). You could just as well let IDA disassemble itself (remember, the license allows it), but this book will make the transfer of knowledge easier and faster.
A must-have for any proper IDA Pro user. Absolutely recommended. A third edition will also be by me ordered as soon as it becomes available.
