PyClassInformer is an IDAPython-based plugin designed for parsing Run-Time Type Information (RTTI) in C++ binaries.
While existing tools like Class Informer and SusanRTTI offer similar functionality, PyClassInformer stands out by addressing limitations such as the inability to use these tools as libraries and the lack of advanced class hierarchy management.
To launch PyClassInformer:
Alt+Shift+L in IDA Pro.Edit -> Plugins -> PyClassInformer.Double-clicking any entry in the results navigates directly to the corresponding vftable address.
pyclassinformer_plugin.py and the pyclassinformer folder into the plugins directory of your IDA user directory ($IDAUSR).PyClassInformer outputs detailed RTTI information, including Complete Object Locators (COL), Class Hierarchy Descriptors (CHD), and Base Class Descriptors (BCD).
It also visualizes class hierarchies in a tree-like structure, aiding reverse engineers in understanding complex inheritance relationships.
Compared to tools like Class Informer, PyClassInformer offers:
While it shares some similarities with SusanRTTI, PyClassInformer enhances usability by combining RTTI parsing with flexible data handling capabilities.
In summary, PyClassInformer is an invaluable tool for reverse engineers working with C++ binaries, offering both ease of use and powerful insights into object-oriented structures.
