Exist such IDA plugin or functionality ?

[DARKER]

Hi folks,

Is there some IDA plugin or functionality with that i can export all changes that i made on project? Eg. my own comments, renamed functions, jumps ... and then some way import it back to the project ?

Just my changes not things that was automatically generated ...

BinDiff will compare two IDA databases.

BinDiff is not good for this ...

The main idea is export only my changes, and e.g send it with mail (in some readable txt format). Sending whole database (>150mb) is slow and complicated. Or another idea is archiving only changes and not whole db for each project ...

File > Produce File > Dump Database to IDC & File > Produce File > Dump Typeinfo to IDC shold do the trick

If you execute the command when you just loaded the binary, and after finishing working on it, using winmerge or some scripting you can get just commands relevant to the changes you made.

I try that, but it produce a lot of "mess".

Interesting idea compare it with before and after output ... but it's still manual job and comparing big project files can be tricky ... maybe some script or plugin can do it as well... question is if IDA internal DB structure has some "flag" that mark "this is user change" or something like that ... than it can be maybe done automatically

Yes, ida keeps track of such information, but you need to write your own plugin for that

So script and plugin writers now is your turn :-) anybody that can help, PM me or post here ...

It's time to explore IDA script possibilities
