## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: sdk, plugin-system, developer-tools, reverse-engineering
- domain: security, reverse-engineering, developer-tools
- platform: python, windows, cross-platform
- tags: ida-pro, idapython, disassembler, binary-analysis, malware-analysis, scripting, hex-rays, automation, macos, linux
