Title: Best way to share IDA work?
Post by: Tony@NefMoto on September 02, 2014, 08:02:30 PM
I'm hoping to release the reverse engineering work I have done on the 2001 S4 8D0907551M disassembling the ECU code in IDA (Interactive Disassembler). Does anyone have suggestions on the best way to share this work? I have heard about people exporting the symbols, etc from the IDB binary so that other people can import it, and I have also heard of people using CollabREate to share the work they do in IDA. Does anyone have an suggestions on the best way to do this? My main concern is being able to share work that is being done once my IDB file gets released.

This is always a problem with GUI based tools; there is no good way to share information, since stuff is either stored in a binary format, or, even if it is a text format, since it isn't human edited, there is no way to merge changes from others or multiple branches.

:(

The problem is there isn't really any alternative because IDA is the defacto standard for reverse engineering. This StackExchange link has the best discussion of how to handle it: http://reverseengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/1347/tools-to-work-cooperatively-on-the-same-binary
