Hi to all

Came across this vid, showing pseudo code disassem in IDA pro (disassem a nasty trojan )

Looks pretty awesome, thought some might be interested.

That is pretty cool. An awesome tool for those engaged in analyzing malware for sure.

that's impressive, but having visited IDA's website I get the impression that the decompiler is sold as an add-on to IDA,
about 1100+ USD for IDA and about 2000+ USD for the decompiler that's over 3000 USD.
I would like to have it but it's just a bit expensive.

@Jack yes it is no limited demo either to have a play around with. It would have been a nice learning curve and surely there would be a big enough user base to bring the price down to something reasonable.

Is their anything comparable !?

There is a free version, isn't this enough?

@PureGuy Already have it. Was mainly interested in the pseudo code decompiler

Probably the only really free alternative is OllyDbg.

@c4s should have been clearer sorry, I was referring to the pseudo decompiler part! any disassembler which has this pseudo C type code decompiler. Would be a great tool for tinkering and learning.

The great thing about HEX-Rays pseudo decompiler it runs across Windows , Linux , OSX. I cant say i have ever come across this sort of thing in any disassembler i`ve looked at

I am not very impressed. The video shows only very easy to analyse code for which you dont need the decompiler.
That said i know decompiler are a very complicated matter and i never had one that worked well.

I can see this saving some time on API heavy code. But it doesnt look like a well made decompiler.

I paid about 1900 € and had to prove that i am a commercial software developer to order it. They dont seem to sell that software to private people.

There isnt anything comparable or even better on the market.

Check the Zynamics add-on Binnavi : http://www.zynamics.com/binnavi.html

Quite nice indeed:
