But the most important configuration files are those that govern the use of Ida and they are the following: Most of the configuration files are named after their processor name like sparc, ppc those configuration files are important only when analyzing the executable for that particular processor. We can see that there are a lot of configuration files stored in the cfg/ directory. It is recommended to learn more tools including Ghidra and IDA Pro to take advantage of the strength of all the tools available may be opensource as well as commercial 78k0s.cfg avr.cfg clsid.cfg dsp561xx.cfg f2mc16l.cfg hcs12.cfg i960.cfg kr1878.cfg mips.xml pdb.cfg ppc.cfg sparc.xml templates.xml tms320c55.cfgĦ808.cfg ad218x.cfg bochsrc.cfg cr16.cfg dsp563xx.cfg f2mc16lx.cfg hcs12x.cfg i960.xml m32r.cfg mn102l00.cfg pe.cfg ppc.xml st10.cfg tlcs900.cfg xbe.cfgĦ811.cfg alpha.cfg c166.cfg dbg_bochs.cfg dsp566xx.cfg fr.cfg hexrays.cfg ida.cfg m740.cfg n64.cfg pe.xml ppcdcr.cfg st20.cfg tms32054.xml z180.cfgĦ812.cfg alpha.xml c166v1.cfg dbg_gdb.cfg dsp56k.cfg gdb_arch.cfg hppa.xml idagui.cfg m7700.cfg noret.cfg pic12.cfg psx.cfg st7.cfg tms32055.xmlĦ816.cfg arm.xml c166v2.cfg dbg_wince.cfg exceptions.cfg h8.cfg hpux.cfg idatui.cfg m7900.cfg oakdsp.cfg pic14.cfg python.cfg st9.cfg tms320c3.cfgħ8k0.cfg atrap.cfg c39.cfg dbg_windbg.cfg f2mc.xml h8500.xml i51.cfg kernel.xml mc68.xml pc.xml pic16.cfg sh3.cfg super10.cfg tms320c54.cfg Currently, there is no single tool available that acts as a single bullet or a swiss army knife for identifying each and every piece of information on the target. Reverse engineering of malware/binaries is not an easy task. Version tracking between different versions of binaries availableĪvailable in IDA Pro 7.3 (previously not available) Technical support is available via email, forum IDA Pro supported more than 65 families of processors that include x86/x84, ARM/ARM64, MIPS/MIPS 64, etc. Support less number of families than IDA Pro

Support big firmware images of size more than 1 GB without any issues Support load of multiple binaries at once. This blog lists a comparison between two tools and tries to find which one is better.ĭownload link - Ghidra Comparison between two frameworks ParameterĬommercial, although limited functionality tool (IDA Free) available for free. It is to be noted that generally three types of binaries are popularly used: ELF (Executable and Linkable Format), PE (Portable Executable), and Mach O(Mach Object) for analysis. Both tools are useful tools for binary analysis.

IDA Pro is an expensive tool, owned by Hex-Rays SA. Ghidra is a Java-based interactive reverse engineering framework developed by US National Security Agency (NSA). Ghidra and IDA Pro, both are the reverse engineering framework.
