An interactive binary patching plugin for IDA Pro that adds a robust in-disassembler workflow for editing assembly instructions. It supports x86/x64 and Arm/Arm64 via a Keystone engine fork and injects patching actions into IDA's right-click context menus.

Use cases

• patch binaries interactively in ida pro
• edit assembly instructions in a disassembler
• nop out instructions during malware analysis
• assemble new instructions into a binary while reverse engineering
• patch arm and x86 code in ida
• quickly iterate on binary patches for security research

When to choose

• You already work in IDA Pro and want to patch instructions without leaving the disassembly view
• You do malware analysis, CTFs, or security research on x86/x64 or Arm/Arm64 binaries
• You want live, rapid-iteration assembly editing with contextual patching actions

When to avoid

• You don't use IDA Pro and need a standalone binary patching tool
• You need architectures beyond x86/x64 and Arm/Arm64
• You require fully automated or scripted bulk binary patching outside a disassembler
