IDA Pro

IDA Pro is a disassembler, decompiler and debugger for analyzing processors, file formats and software. It supports disassembly for more than 60 processor families, and its debugger works with multiple targets, including remote applications. The bundled gooMBA plug-in uses algebraic and program-synthesis techniques, heuristics and an SMT solver to simplify obfuscated binaries. Automation options include the IDA C++ SDK, IDAPython API, IDAT command-line functions and the idalib headless library. Teams can work with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Gitea or another Git remote, with Git LFS support for large IDB files. Private Lumina is a self-hosted add-on that restricts a knowledge base to authorized users; it exchanges function hashes and metadata rather than entire byte patterns. IDA Pro runs on Linux, macOS and Windows. The IDA Pro Essential plan costs $1,099 a year, with a one-year minimum commitment and no monthly payments. Hex-Rays states that there is no free trial and points users to IDA Free for checking basic capabilities.
