STREAMLINING VULNERABILITY RESEARCH WITH IDA PRO AND RUST

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Marco Ivaldi of HN Security has released new tools in Rust for reverse engineering and vulnerability research in IDA Pro that leverage the IDA SDK and Binarly's idalib Rust bindings for a faster user experience. These tools, which include rhabdomancer and haruspex, help locate potentially insecure API calls and extract pseudo-code for analysis, enhancing the efficiency of vulnerability research efforts. The availability of idalib opens up opportunities for developers to create standalone analysis tools in Rust, expanding the capabilities of IDA Pro in security research.
