To be clear, it is still a plugin for a ~$5000 application. Nonetheless, thanks Google for lowering the bar for entry into professional security work!

- linkregister 11y agoFrom the article, it didn't appear that the decompiler was required, just the disassembler. IDA Pro disassembler (professional edition) is $1129. So it's somewhat less expensive. I wish Hopper (hopperapp.com) were more publicized; it's only $89!
- Tomte 11y agoWhat's the Windows status there? I have looked at their web page many times and it's just confusing. The main description page says Mac only, a blog post from long ago says Windows is available (with some restrictions).
- josso 11y agoVersion 2 of Hopper had a Windows version available, but with later versions it has been discontinued: https://twitter.com/bSr43/status/672185178236825601 https://twitter.com/bSr43/status/672185178236825601
- dsl 11y agoIt gets expensive when you want all the bells and whistles, but yes the base model is a little north of a grand. Thanks for the link to Hopper, I know what i'll be doing this afternoon...
- dfc 11y agoIf you cant splurge on IDA try radare2 before Hopper: http://www.radare.org/r/cmp.html http://www.radare.org/r/cmp.html Then in a couple weeks donate $89 saved to the radare2 efforts.

- AdmVonSchneider 11y agoYou only need the IDA Pro Starter Edition (589 USD, 32-bit files only) or the regular IDA Pro version for a single architecture (1129 USD). Even so, IDA comes with decades of RE experience baked into its heuristics and analysis features. It's quirky, yes, but as a professional tool it's also worth the money.
