Greetings,

after a long time, i visited the website for IDA Pro Disassembler and Debugger ("http://www.datarescue.com/idabase/").
I'm really astonished how well this product develops.
They even gave it a user mode debugger now. The internal scripting engine and the SDK is looking promising too.

I know both products came from different contexts .. ollydbg was (and is) a user mode debugger since the beginning. IDA was disassembler/analyzer tool but now seems to develop into user mode debugger direction too.

It would be nice to get some hints - what features of IDA might be good for ollydbg too.
Maybe they can be broken into some "wishlist", which ones can be implemented in ollydbg and which ones using plugins. Maybe the requests lead to a new plugin architecture (needed to implement feature xyz).

Just my thoughts...

Best regards

well isaw the uses of win32graph that is integrated with idas use (a plugin iirc) and came to know that it uses some perl script (i dunno) well the graph was truly good if it could be integrated with olly then one can see a good analysis i beleive and win32graph is opensource or freeware some thing like that




ps: focht i wrote one post in code injection error(same olly injecting some code into coaxing the os to do some thing it wont do itself can you see it and put some queries)

IDA pro is a good interactive *disassembler*.
Ollydbg is a good user mode *debugger*.

I hope Ollydbg can add some disassemble feature of IDA.

simple is the best

i don't think OD should do some changes to IDA.
now the OD's disassemble function is enough.
OD is just a debugger.
the auther should do more hard to improve this function.

you can use IDA to do the hard disassemble work.

IDA DISSASSEMBLER is the best dissasembler, but the debugger of IDA is pathetic, nobody can choose this poor debugger for work serious in cracking.

I think the debugger of IDA may be improved in futures versions, is a very very bad debugger today.
