IDAPython is the Python scripting SDK and plugin framework for Hex-Rays' IDA Pro binary analysis suite, exposing IDA's disassembler, decompiler, and debugger APIs to Python. The project has been merged into the official IDA SDK repository (hexrayssa/ida-sdk), so this repo is now a historical home.

Use cases

• automate binary analysis in ida pro with python scripts
• write ida plugins to decompile and annotate malware
• script ida to extract functions and cross-references from a binary
• batch-analyze firmware samples headlessly with idat
• extend ida's disassembler with custom processor or loader modules
• automate vulnerability research workflows inside ida

When to choose

• you use IDA Pro or IDA Free and want to automate or extend it with Python
• you are building IDA plugins, loaders, or processor modules
• you need programmatic access to IDA's disassembly, decompiler, or debugger APIs

When to avoid

• you need a free standalone reverse-engineering tool without an IDA license (consider Ghidra or radare2 instead)
• you want the actively developed source - use the hexrayssa/ida-sdk repository instead
• you need binary analysis tooling that runs outside of IDA
