How to execute IDAPython script with arguments within IDA Pro?
I have an IDAPython script x.py which takes some arguments, which prevents me from simply using alt + F7 and selecting my script. How can I execute this script within IDA Pro and specify the arguments for the script? Naturally, the best way would be editing the script and have it ask the user for those parameters.
Can you run IDAPython without spawning a GUI?
Using this technique, we’ll be able to process many samples very quickly without needing to manually open each file in a new instance of IDA and run the IDAPython script. Many may be surprised to learn that IDA can be executed purely on the command-line without spawning a GUI.
How can I use IDAPython to make my life easier?
By leveraging both the power of IDAPython, along with IDA’s command-line switches, we’ve successfully automated the extraction of the download location of a number of Cmstar samples. This technique can easily be applied to a larger number of samples, allowing us to execute IDAPython actions without needing to manually open each file in IDA.
What does the C switch in IDAPython do?
In these examples, the ‘-c’ switch generates a new IDB file, even in the event one already exists. Additionally, the ‘-S’ switch specifies the IDAPython script that will be run upon execution. We’ll be using these switches later on in the post.
What does address mean in hex IDA Pro?
This addressing mode refers to memory relative to the next instruction (not the current, because RIP points to the next instruction). If you do the math, you will see that 0x0062D15A + 0x009360C7 is 0x00F63221. To refer to bbb, you need to calculate 0x00F6322D – ( 0x0062D15A + 7 ).
Where are the passed parameters stored in Ida?
The passed parameters are stored in the “ARGV” global IDC variable. Use “ARGV.count” to determine the number of arguments. The first argument “ARGV [0]” contains the script name. This switch is not available in the IDA Home edition.
How to change the end address of a function in Ida?
In order to change function end address you could use FunctionEnd command. If the current address does not belong to any function, IDA beeps. This command allows you to change the function frame parameters too. You can change the size of some parts of frame structure. IDA considers the stack as the following structure:
