SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Domain API for IDA Pro provides a clean, Pythonic interface to analyze binaries, replacing the legacy IDA Python SDK and streamlining reverse-engineering workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Domain API offers concise access to functions, strings, xrefs, and other database items.
  • Enables rapid exploration of program structure, disassembly, cross-references, and analysis results.
  • Use Case: Open a binary in IDA Pro and enumerate all functions and their references using the Domain API for quick threat/hotspot discovery.

Quick Start

Start by loading a binary into IDA Pro, import the Domain API library, and open the database with ida_domain.Database.open with appropriate options.
