Hello!
I downloaded IDA PRO 6.6, 6.5 and wanted to know how can I check if the file I got is a clean(no virus) version.

Thanks!

IDA is a disassembler, not a antimalware product. Your question itself isnt invalid but the question is something like this "how can i make Apollo 11 with a hammer " .
Anyway , to be specific to your question - you have to make sure 1. you unpacked the file(if its packed) , 2. dont run the file by mistake (use a lab environment thats why) . Then figure out what it will do/does (Again running it in a sandboxed environment environment will yield your result much easier) . This is the basics . But each of the steps involve complexity . You can check different malware analysis sites on the net for examples

I recommend you to read Practical Malware Analysis, it's a very good introduction to the subject

May be registered users can ask Ilfack about the MD5/SHA1 or check it by him self, and be kind to post the hash value here. So our in this forum can be sure that the setup was original.

(sorry for my terrible English)

Thank you for the response. Is the assembly subject in the book is for beginners or I shouldn't start from there?
I have no problem start from there just want to read more opinions and thoughts.

The question is clear, the reader isn't clear. I downloaded Detect It Easy but it doesn't show me anything suspicious, I asked this question because Ollydbg 1.10 gave me an error on opened in OS 8.1.
x64/32_dbg I have no idiea about it. Just wanted to check IDA and about running VMware I will do it later. I thought I can find my answer here.


Sorry if spammed or uncleared, just cannot find instructions at google. Thanks all for response and please don't junk.

Please describe your problem accurately. At this point i am clueless about what you are even talking about. Once again IDA is for analyzing malwares(or any piece of software which ida analysis module can support).
It cannot detect Malwares.

My closest assumption is that you are asking if file is packed or not. You can check that by loading it up in any diassembler. there is no standard thumb rule to do so. But usually packed files have custom stub for unpacking and oep re-routed to this custom stub. Use available 3rd party packer analyzers for now.

This is just a classic case of a new malware reverser wanting to jump headfirst into reversing with IDA Pro 6.6 instead of taking a step back and READING SOME RECCOMENDED LITERATURE by many many many members of every reversing community ever...:

Reversing: Secrets of Reverse Engineering - by Eldad Elium

The IDA Pro Book: The Unofficial Guide to the World's Most Popular Disassembler - by Chris Eagle

but for both of these it would help to know how to program before....I suggest you don't use any of this crap and learn some C++.

tK! - yes, that was my opinion too. I believe some or all of the full installer exe files did have an MD5 given.
