Top Tweets for #BinDiff
Introducing IDA SQL [ https://t.co/ni8lGBIOP6 ], a tool I have been sleeping on since last summer.
It takes a different approach to exposing IDA database and make it extremely friendly to Coding Agents and CLI tools.
- AI Agent - Natural language queries with Claude or GitHub Copilot #copilotsdk
- SQL Interface - Full SQL access to functions, strings, imports, xrefs, instructions, types
- Unified Entity Search - jump_entities() searches everything: functions, types, members, enums (think "Jump Anywhere")
- Standalone CLI - Query .i64 files without opening IDA GUI
- IDA Plugin - SQL/AI interface inside IDA's command line
- Remote Server - Query IDA from external tools, scripts, or coding agents
- IDA SQL is built on top of libxsql and libagents
@HexRaysSA somewhat underhandedly added Linux ARM64 builds in their new IDA Pro 9.3 beta.
I really need to find some time to work on #BinDiff...
Exciting! @vector35's excellent #BinaryNinja ships with built-in BinExport in the latest dev version!
Here's how to use it with #BinDiff: https://t.co/TdSQJsptvO
رشتو: در این برنامه قراره در خصوص تکنیک #PatchDiffing روی Patchهای #مایکروسافت صحبت و از دو ابزار #Bindiff و #Diaphora استفاده کنن. همچنین نشون میدن که چطوری #هوش_مصنوعی میتونه این فرایند رو ساده تر کنه.
این برنامه ساعت 21:30 شروع میشه.
#AI #PatchTuesday
Join me this Friday at 11AM on the next @offby1security stream where I will diff a Microsoft patch from this year and see how far we get. We'll use tools like BinDiff and Diaphora and look at the process of determining the vulnerability.

Need to trigger BinExport headlessly to batch process patched binaries (using commercial and above)? First, build for a recent dev or stable: https://t.co/5Z5glhW8I2
Next, install the API for headless: https://t.co/1lcVpLZvAG
Finally, automate your exporting using a script taking advantage of the PluginCommand and PluginCommandContext APIs, like the attached image.
Ever wondered about how #BinDiff reads the BinExport2 format to build its flow graph representations?
This post by @williballenthin sheds some light on this:

I'll end this on a more positive note by saying that https://t.co/tgEWC1YwB9 at least enables the same workflow for IDA 9.0 as the one we use for Binary Ninja and Ghidra (export first, then invoke #BinDiff manually). 6/N
This is all a shame, really, as I would like to update #BinDiff to, e.g., use idalib for headless exports.
But right now, I don't have the time/capacity to work on any of this.
I'd rather spent my 20% time on more exciting parts of the project. Or maybe it's time to move on? 5/N
On top of that, #BinDiff can no longer just be installed, because 8.4 plugins will not load in IDA Pro 9.0 (and vice versa) and installing both means ugly error message each time IDA starts.
So I need to implement something to select the version (idaswitch?). 4/N
PSA: An official #BinDiff that works with IDA 9.0 will be a bit delayed.
Good news is that there's a https://t.co/tgEWC1Z4qH for BinExport that should allow to use BinDiff manually.
@HexRaysSA
Huh, with the new IDAlib headleass mode in @HexRaysSA IDA 9.0, #BinDiff can get rid of the visible second IDA instance. Need to play around with this more.
I love Google's internal infra. Yet somehow, every Friday, when I want to work on #BinDiff, build infra acts up and I spent most of the day fixing it. FML.
BinExport for #BinDiff can be built for the new version, but the fmtlib dependency complicates a signed Google build a bit, unfortunately.
Today was 20% day - "bit-rot prevention edition".
#BinDiff now has GitHub Actions and you can download binaries per commit (https://t.co/5IEOjcnZDR).

Privilege escalation using the XAML diagnostics API (CVE-2023-36003) - a write-up of a vulnerability that I discovered in Windows. The vulnerability was patched in December’s Patch Tuesday.

Nice, need to check this out. This could (should?) outperform #BinDiff
Latest Ghidra has function similarity search built in, using feature vectors calculated by the decompiler.
