Recently, IDA 5.2 has been released, bearing as usual a lot of cool features and bugfixes. One of the most interesting additions was the so-called scriptable debugger. Today, I had a bit of free time, and decided to experiment with that.

In a very limited time, I coded a simple API monitor to spy over file-write operations on executable files (for example done by some malware). For the curious ones, I have uploaded the script to my repository ("https://www.openrce.org/repositories/users/Paolo/IdcDebuggerTest.idc"): the code is just an experiment and is not all that useful - but it shows anyway how easy it is to use the new IDC commands.

Cool a "built-in OllyScript" on steroids, maybe IDA's debugger is becoming a force to be reckoned and worthy of time to be looked into after all...

calling anything 'ollyscript (on steroids)' should be considered as big insult imo
