Recently I was analysing some code with a friend using IDA when I thought of this - IDA is an interactive, but single-user tool. Could it be possible to make it multiuser, i.e. have one machine where the "director" of the analysis resides, which other machines running an IDA client can connect to, perhaps over the Internet, and have many reversers work on the program simultaneously? I'm sure this would make reverse-engineering much more fun and efficient.
Also, given the clearly superior skills of the IDA authors, I'm still surprised that they haven't attempted to produce an Interactive Decompiler, since decompilation is just one more step above disassembly and not much more difficult to accomplish. All the decompilers I've found are either incomplete, buggy, and noninteractive.
Comments and opinions are welcome.
