Hello, I am trying to configure my ida 4.8 pro to be able to see the segments and addresses and the strings. I have compared my ida.cfg file to an ida 4.3 free ida.cfg file and I tried turning everything on/yes in the cfg file, but I'm not getting very far. I have read a few tutorials/primers, but mostly seem outdated, a bit: http://www.woodmann.com/fravia/mamm_gip.htm
Ideally, I would like to set up my 4.8 or 4.3 so it displays like this 3.6 that I have included below. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

IDA 3.6
Code:


seg001:8C65 call sub_1357_56BB

seg001:8C6A or ax, ax 

seg001:8C6C jz loc_A7C_8C78

seg001:8C6E mov ax, 1 

seg001:8C71 push ax ; status 

seg001:8C72 call _exit



4.8 Pro
Code:


call far ptr unk_1357_56BB

or ax, ax

jz short loc_A7C_8C78

and only main looks like that, the rest looks like below. I was able to find that if I right click and choose code that it converts the below to code, but it something is awry when trying to compare it to the 3.6 above:
More 4.8
Code:


db 0ECh ; 8

db 0B4h ; ¦

db 4Ch ; L

db 8Ah ; è

db 46h ; F




4.3 Free
Code:


seg001:8C65 call sub_18C2B

seg001:8C6A or ax, ax

seg001:8C6C jz loc_13438

There were 2 releases of 4.8 from a cracking team, from what I gather neither one works correctly - I've managed to take components from both releases and interchange them, and my installation seems to work "BETTER" - not perfectly - your best bet would be to buy the soft, but if you are like me and waiting to win the lottery, in the mean time - you could check out - the ARTeam forum, (tools Of the Trade), you might find something new and interesting, I'm sure a lot of people here will want to check this out!

Thanks for the reply....not exactly the answer I was looking/hoping for. Any problems with 4.9?

A reminder, Please keep the discussions away from the availability and assessment of the latest warez...

Kayaker,

Thank you for the warning, but if I'm not mistaken there was an entire thread regarding the different releases of ver 4.8XXXXX - have the rules been tightened? As for the availability - it has been announced on a couple of sister forums - I'm merely suggesting an alternate path and not posting a link, in the future , I'll try not to be so specific - even if the forum thread also contains additional info that may be required.

Just use an older version of IDA. You don't necessarily need the extra functionality present in the newer versions.

Hi,

Oh, no reason in particular. To be honest I stated that simply because it seems like a polite approach to take out of deserved respect to the author. I only discourage discussion related to details of any particular warezed versions that might exist or who did a better crackup job or that sort of thing. This is no different from the board policy on any other software.

Considering there's a perfectly good freeware 4.3 version that is more than enough for any casual, er reverser, or anyone who wants to assess the program for possible purchase at a future date. I just want to limit the discussion to technical details of the program where it pertains to its operation or reversing use. As for the other thread, I was probably sleeping or didn't care.

Regards,
Kayaker

I do ususlly refrain especially when it comes to tools - pointing people to links where info to get the "cracked version" is not usually my style, but a couple of members in a previous post had expressed interest in this particular one, and yes even if I don't win the lottery, I will eventually, (maybe all that spare change that weighs about 200 pounds?), buy this one - if anything just for the luxury of support.
