Library for reading IDA Pro databases.

The header file idb3.h contains a library for reading from IDA Pro databases.

File format description

Class for accessing sections of an .idb or .i64 file.

Constructor Parameters:

• std::shared_ptr<std::istream> ( typedefed to stream_ptr )

Methods:

• stream_ptr getsection(int)

Constructor Parameters:

• IDBFile& idb
• stream_ptr

Constant

• INDEX - the argument for idb.getsection

Methods

• Cursor find(relation_t, nodeid, ...)

  • ... can be:
    • tag, index
    • tag, hash
    • tag

• Cursor find(relation_t, std::string key)

• std::string blob(nodeid, tag, ...)

• uint64_t node(std::string name)

• bool is64bit()

  • true for .i64 files.

• uint64_t nodebase()

  • return 0xFF000000(00000000) for 32/64 bit databases.

• void enumlist(uint64_t nodeid, char tag, CB cb)

  • call cb for each value in the list.

Convenience Methods

• std::string getdata(ARGS...args)
• std::string getstr(ARGS...args)
• uint64_t getuint(ARGS...args)
• uint64_t getuint(BtreeBase::Cursor& c)
• std::string getname(uint64_t node)

Methods

• uint32_t GetFlags(uint64_t ea)

Methods

• uint64_t findname(uint64_t ea)

Methods

• void next()
  • move cursor to the next btree record
• void prev()
  • move cursor to the previous btree record
• bool eof()
  • did we reach the start/end of the btree?
• std::string getkey()
  • return the key pointed to by the cursor
• std::string getval()
  • return the value pointed to by the cursor

Define IDB_ZLIB_COMPRESSION_SUPPORT to enable support compressed databases (requires zlib library).

#include <idb3.hpp>

IDBFile idb(std::make_shared<std::ifstream>("database.i64", ios::binary));
ID0File id0(idb, idb.getsection(ID0File::INDEX));

uint64_t loadernode = id0.node("$ loader name");
std::cout << "Loader:" << '\t' << '\t'
	<< id0.getstr(loadernode, 'S', 0) << " - "
	<< id0.getstr(loadernode, 'S', 1) << std::endl;

uint64_t rootNode = id0.node("Root Node");

uint32_t version = id0.getuint(rootNode, 'A', -1);
uint32_t crc = id0.getuint(rootNode, 'A', -5);
time_t time = id0.getuint(rootNode, 'A', -2);
std::string str_version = id0.getstr(rootNode, 'S', 1303);

std::cout << "IDA Version:" << '\t' << version << "[" << str_version << "]" << std::endl
	<< "Time:" << '\t' << '\t' << time << std::endl
	<< "CRC:" << '\t' << '\t' << std::hex << crc << std::endl;
