IDArling : Collaborative Reverse Engineering Plugin for IDA Pro & Hex-Ray

IDArling is a collaborative reverse engineering plugin for IDA Pro and Hex-Rays. It allows to synchronize in real-time the changes made to a database by multiple users, by connecting together different instances of IDA Pro.

The main features of IDArling are:

hooking general user events
structure and enumeration support
Hex-Rays decompiler syncing
replay engine and auto-saving
database loading and saving
interactive status bar widget
user cursors (instructions, functions, navbar)
invite and following an user moves
dedicated server using Qt5
integrated server within IDA
LAN servers discovery
following an user moves in real time

If you have any questions not worthy of a bug report, feel free to ping us at #idarling on freenode and ask away.

Releases

This project is under active development. Feel free to send a PR if you would like to help! 🙂

It is not really stable in its current state, please stayed tuned for a first release of the project!

Installation

Install the IDArling client into the IDA plugins folder.

Copy idarling_plugin.py and the idarling folder to the IDA plugins folder.
- On Windows, the folder is at C:\Program Files\IDA 7.x\plugins
- On macOS, the folder is at /Applications/IDA\ Pro\ 7.x/idabin/plugins
- On Linux, the folder may be at ~/ida-7.x/plugins/
Alternatively, you can use the “easy install” method by copying the following line into the console:

import urllib2; exec(urllib2.urlopen(‘https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IDArlingTeam/IDArling/master/easy_install.py’)).read()

Warning: The plugin is only compatible with IDA Pro 7.x on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

The dedicated server requires PyQt5, which is integrated into IDA. If you’re using an external Python installation, we recommand using Python 3, which offers a pre-built package that can be installed with a simple pip install PyQt5.

Usage

Open the Settings dialog accessible from the right-clicking the widget located in the status bar. Show the servers list by clicking on the Network Settings tabs and add your server to it.

Connect to the server by clicking on it after right-clicking the widget again. Finally, you should be able to access the following menus to upload or download a database:

File –> Open from server
File –> Save to server
