    keywords = ['otp', 'totp', 'auth', 'token', 'verify',
                'cstp', 'dtls', 'vpn', 'tls', 'hmac', 'aes']

    results = []

    for func_ea in idautils.Functions():
        func_name = idc.get_func_name(func_ea)

        # Check if function name contains keywords
        if any(kw in func_name.lower() for kw in keywords):
            func = idaapi.get_func(func_ea)

            results.append({
                'name': func_name,
                'address': hex(func_ea),
                'size': func.size() if func else 0,
            })

5. Scripting Setup

5.1 IDAPython Environment

Python Version: IDA Pro 9.2 uses Python 3.11

Check Python Version:

# In IDA Python console (File → Scripting command):
import sys
print(sys.version)
# Output: 3.11.x

Install Additional Packages:

# IDA Pro uses bundled Python, so install to IDA's site-packages
/opt/ida-9.2/python/3/python -m pip install \
    angr \
    capstone \
    keystone-engine \
    unicorn

5.2 Useful IDAPython Snippets

List All Functions:

import idautils

for func_ea in idautils.Functions():
    func_name = idc.get_func_name(func_ea)
    print(f"{hex(func_ea)}: {func_name}")

Find String References:

import idautils
import idc

search_string = "Invalid OTP"

# Find string
string_ea = None
for s in idautils.Strings():
    if search_string in str(s):
        string_ea = s.ea
        break

if string_ea:
    print(f"[*] Found string at {hex(string_ea)}")

    # Find cross-references
    for xref in idautils.XrefsTo(string_ea):
        func_ea = idc.get_func_attr(xref.frm, idc.FUNCATTR_START)
        func_name = idc.get_func_name(func_ea)
        print(f"    Referenced by: {func_name} @ {hex(func_ea)}")

Rename Function and Variables:

import idc

# Rename function
idc.set_name(0x00425f80, "vpn_totp_generate", idc.SN_CHECK)

# Rename local variable (in decompiler view)
# Must be done through decompiler API
import ida_hexrays

func = ida_hexrays.decompile(0x00425f80)
if func:
    func.lvars[0].name = "secret"
    func.lvars[1].name = "secret_len"
    func.save_user_labels()

Export Decompiled Code:

import ida_hexrays

func_ea = 0x00425f80
func = ida_hexrays.decompile(func_ea)

if func:
    c_code = str(func)
    print(c_code)

    # Save to file
    with open(f'/tmp/func_{hex(func_ea)}.c', 'w') as f:
        f.write(c_code)

6. Batch Processing

6.1 Headless Analysis with idat64

Command Syntax:

idat64 [options] <binary>

Options:
  -A              Auto-analysis (analyze then exit)
  -S<script>      Run script after analysis
  -L<logfile>     Write log to file
  -c              Disassemble new binary (create new IDB)
  -o<idb>         Output IDB path
  -p<processor>   Force processor type

6.2 Batch Script Example

Script: /opt/analysis/scripts/ida_batch_export.py (see RE Manifest Section 5.2)

Run Batch Analysis:

#!/bin/bash
# batch_analyze.sh

BINARY_DIR="/opt/analysis/cisco-binaries"
OUTPUT_DIR="/opt/analysis/ida-output"
IDA_SCRIPT="/opt/analysis/scripts/ida_batch_export.py"

mkdir -p "$OUTPUT_DIR"

find "$BINARY_DIR" -type f -executable | while read -r binary; do
    echo "[*] Analyzing: $binary"

    timeout 1800 /opt/ida-9.2/idat64 \
        -A \
        -S"$IDA_SCRIPT" \
        -L"$OUTPUT_DIR/$(basename $binary).log" \
        "$binary"

    if [ -f "$binary.json" ]; then
        mv "$binary.json" "$OUTPUT_DIR/$(basename $binary).json"
        echo "[✓] Exported"
    else
        echo "[✗] Failed"
    fi
done

6.3 Parallel Processing

Using GNU Parallel:

# Install GNU parallel
sudo dnf install -y parallel

# Run 8 jobs in parallel
find /opt/analysis/cisco-binaries -type f -executable | \
  parallel -j 8 --timeout 1800 \
  '/opt/ida-9.2/idat64 -A -S/opt/analysis/scripts/ida_batch_export.py {}'

Performance:

197 binaries @ 15 min each = 49 hours sequential
8 parallel jobs = 6 hours total

7. Best Practices

7.1 Project Organization

Structure:

/opt/analysis/ida_projects/
├── cisco_secure_client/
│   ├── v5.1.2.42/
│   │   ├── vpnagentd.i64        # IDA database (64-bit)
│   │   ├── vpnagentd.id0        # Database components
│   │   ├── vpnagentd.id1
│   │   ├── vpnagentd.nam
│   │   └── vpnagentd.til
│   └── v5.1.12.146/
│       └── ...
└── openconnect/
    └── ...

Best Practices:

One IDB per binary (don't reuse)
Organize by version
Use descriptive IDB names
Backup IDBs regularly (they contain all annotations)

7.2 Analysis Workflow

Initial Analysis:
- Let IDA auto-analyze (30-60 minutes)
- Don't interrupt analysis (causes corruption)
- Save IDB frequently (Ctrl+W)
Function Annotation:
- Rename functions immediately when identified
- Add comments liberally (; key)
- Document assumptions
Collaboration:
- Export IDB to team shared storage
- Use consistent naming conventions
- Create analysis journals (see RE Manifest)

7.3 Performance Optimization

Speed Up Analysis:

Disable unnecessary analyzers:
- Options → General → Analysis tab
- Uncheck: "Find function chunks", "Non-returning functions"
Increase memory limit:

export TVHEADSIZE=2048  # IDA memory buffer (MB)
/opt/ida-9.2/ida64 &

Use SSD for IDB files (faster I/O)

Large Binary Optimization:

For binaries >100 MB:
- Use idat64 (headless) instead of GUI
- Disable graph generation initially
- Focus on specific functions (don't analyze everything)

8. Troubleshooting

8.1 Common Issues

Issue: "idat64: error while loading shared libraries"

Error:

idat64: error while loading shared libraries: libQt5Core.so.5: cannot open shared object file

Solution:

# Install Qt5 dependencies
sudo dnf install -y \
    qt5-qtbase \
    qt5-qtbase-gui \
    qt5-qtsvg \
    qt5-qtx11extras

# Or set LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/ida-9.2/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

Issue: "Decompiler timeout"

Error: "Decompiler process timed out"

Solution:

Edit → Plugins → Hex-Rays Decompiler → Options
Set "Decompiler timeout" to 600 seconds

Or skip problematic function:

# In IDAPython
import ida_hexrays
ida_hexrays.mark_cfunc_dirty(func_ea)  # Force re-analysis

Issue: "License not found"

Error: "Cannot find valid license file"

Solution:

# Check license file exists
ls -l /opt/ida-9.2/idapro.hexlic

# If missing, copy from keygens directory
sudo cp /opt/software/IDA_Pro_9.2.250908/keygens_patchers/idapro.hexlic \
       /opt/ida-9.2/

# Verify
/opt/ida-9.2/idat64 --license

Issue: "IDB corruption"

Error: "Database file is corrupted"

Solution:

# IDA creates backups automatically
ls -l ~/.idapro/backups/

# Restore from backup
cp ~/.idapro/backups/vpnagentd.i64.backup /opt/analysis/ida_projects/vpnagentd.i64

# If no backup, re-analyze binary
rm vpnagentd.i64 vpnagentd.id*
/opt/ida-9.2/ida64 vpnagentd  # Re-analyze

Prevention:

Save frequently (Ctrl+W)
Don't force-quit IDA during analysis
Use version control for IDBs (Git LFS)

Issue: "Python script not loading"

Error: Plugin script doesn't appear in menu

Solution:

# Check plugin directory
ls -l ~/.idapro/plugins/

# Verify Python syntax
/opt/ida-9.2/python/3/python -m py_compile ~/.idapro/plugins/your_script.py

# Check IDA Python console for errors
# File → Scripting command
# Type: import your_script

8.2 Debug Mode

Enable Debug Logging:

# Set environment variable
export IDALOG=/tmp/ida_debug.log

# Run IDA
/opt/ida-9.2/ida64 &

# Check log
tail -f /tmp/ida_debug.log

Verbose Output:

/opt/ida-9.2/idat64 -v -A binary.elf
# -v: Verbose mode

9. Integration with WolfGuard Workflow

9.1 Analysis Pipeline

IDA Pro in WolfGuard Workflow:

Reconnaissance → IDA Pro Deep Analysis → angr Validation → C23 Implementation
   (30 min)           (2-4 hours)            (1 hour)          (2-4 hours)

When to Use IDA Pro:

Complex C++ binaries (vtable reconstruction)
Critical authentication functions (requires best decompiler)
Protocol parsers (need accurate struct recovery)
Cryptographic algorithms (use FindCrypt plugin)

When to Use Alternatives:

Quick string extraction → strings command
Struct recovery → Reko (faster)
Batch analysis → Ghidra headless (free, scriptable)

9.2 Output Format

Standardized JSON Output (for automation):

{
  "binary": "vpnagentd",
  "version": "5.1.12.146",
  "architecture": "x86_64",
  "analysis_date": "2025-10-30",
  "functions": [
    {
      "name": "vpn_totp_generate",
      "address": "0x00425f80",
      "size": 128,
      "decompiled": "uint32_t vpn_totp_generate(...) { ... }",
      "confidence": "high",
      "xrefs": ["0x00426120", "0x00427a00"]
    }
  ],
  "structs": [
    {
      "name": "vpn_session_t",
      "size": 304,
      "fields": [
        {"offset": 0, "type": "uint32_t", "name": "session_id"},
        {"offset": 8, "type": "uint8_t*", "name": "session_token"}
      ]
    }
  ]
}

10. Advanced Topics

10.1 Debugging with IDA Pro

Local Debugging:

Debugger → Select debugger → Linux debugger
Debugger → Process options
- Application: /opt/binaries/vpnagentd
- Parameters: --config /etc/vpn.conf
Debugger → Start process (F9)

Remote Debugging:

# On target machine (Oracle Linux VM)
/opt/ida-9.2/dbgsrv/linux_server64 -Ppassword

# In IDA Pro:
# Debugger → Select debugger → Remote Linux debugger
# Debugger → Process options
#   - Hostname: 192.168.1.100
#   - Port: 23946
#   - Password: password

10.2 Type Libraries

Import Type Libraries (for better decompilation):

View → Open subviews → Type libraries
Right-click → Load type library
Select: linux_x64.til, glibc.til, openssl.til

Create Custom Type Library:

// vpn_types.h - Custom types for Cisco VPN
typedef struct {
    uint32_t session_id;
    uint8_t *token;
    // ...
} vpn_session_t;
