SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the process of saving identified code patches and their associated signatures into a standardized YAML format, ensuring persistence and easy retrieval of critical binary modification data.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standardized Patch Persistence: Saves patch details (name, signature, bytes, displacement) into YAML files.
  • Platform-Aware Naming: Generates filenames based on patch name and detected operating system (Windows/Linux).
  • Use Case: After using an IDA Pro skill to find and define a signature for a game exploit, this skill can be used to save that signature and the bytes needed to apply the patch into a file that can be later used by other tools or automated processes.

Quick Start

Use the write-patch-as-yaml skill to save the patch named ServerMovementUnlock with signature 0F 86 AF 00 00 00 0F 57 C0 0F 2E C2 and bytes E9 B0 00 00 00 90.

FAQPage Schema
How do I save IDA Pro patch analysis results into a YAML file?

You can save IDA Pro patch analysis results into a YAML file by persisting patch names, signatures, byte displacements, and replacement bytes into a standardized YAML format adjacent to the target binary.

Can I persist binary signatures and replacement bytes for both Windows and Linux?

Yes, you can persist binary signatures and replacement bytes for both Windows and Linux platforms, as the skill generates YAML filenames based on the patch name and the detected operating system.

What is the best way to automate saving code patches for reverse engineering workflows?

The best way to automate saving code patches is to write patch data including signatures and replacement bytes into structured YAML files, providing a standardized format for automated patching tools to retrieve.

Does this patching workflow require IDA Pro MCP to save signature data?

Yes, this patching workflow requires IDA Pro MCP to save signature data, as it relies on the MCP integration to persist code patch analysis results directly into standardized YAML files.

How do I store a game exploit signature and patch bytes for later automated use?

To store a game exploit signature and patch bytes, you define the patch name, signature, and replacement bytes in IDA Pro, then save them into a YAML file for later automated processes.

What patch details are included when saving binary modifications to YAML?

When saving binary modifications to YAML, the included patch details are the patch name, signature, byte displacement, and replacement bytes required for applying the code patch.
