How to debug using IDA pro?
There are different ways to launch a new process; one method is to directly launch the debugger, without initially loading the program. To do that, launch IDA (without loading the executable), then select Debugger | Run | Local Windows debugger ; this will bring up a dialog where you can choose the file to debug.
What is the role of breakpoint in debugger?
Breakpoints are one of the most important debugging techniques in your developer’s toolbox. You set breakpoints wherever you want to pause debugger execution. For example, you may want to see the state of code variables or look at the call stack at a certain breakpoint.
What are the pointers to uninitialized memory in IDA Pro?
After the firmware is loaded, there are three pointers to the uninitialized memory at the 0x04 address: 0x80000145, 0x800002E7, and 0x800002DF. Therefore, you can guess that the initial offset is 0x80000000.
Where to find conditional breakpoints in IDA Pro?
To display such binaries correctly, go to General Options → Analysis → Processor-Specific Analysis Options → Edit ARM Architecture, and check the “BE-8 code (ARMB)” checkbox: IDA Pro supports conditional breakpoints, which consist of a code in IDC/Python that is run in a specific location.
How to set a breakpoint in x64dbg?
Go to “CPU” tab in x64dbg. Press Ctrl + G in x64dbg and enter the address which you want to see. This procedure changes the base address of the loaded binary in IDA according to x64dbg. This can also be done manually by calculating the difference between the base address and the point where you want to set the breakpoint.
How to change the base address in Ida?
Copy the address of that instruction from assembly view. Go to “CPU” tab in x64dbg. Press Ctrl + G in x64dbg and enter the address which you want to see. This procedure changes the base address of the loaded binary in IDA according to x64dbg.
