404notfound Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Is this subforum appropriate for posting software dev related questions? Anyway, I know that IDA's .idb files embed licensing information in them. How bad of an idea is posting .idb files online, like say, on github? Personally, I don't care much if HexRays finds out I have the blessing of a certain saint Doskey Lee 😛 Do they practice any form of blacklisting? Like say, .idb files made in pirated IDA fail to open in legit IDA versions. One more issue is, how appropriate is IDA file for collab across different IDA versions? Consider this scenario. I have IDA 6.8 and I give .idb to someone with IDA 7.x(or maybe he has earlier 6.x version!). He works on that file, saves it, and sends it back. Will I be able to open it again? Or is .idb file only suitable for individual/same-version work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
404notfound Posted June 23, 2021 Author Share Posted June 23, 2021 Okay, some info I have found so far: - IDA 32bit and 64bit each have their own separate database files, .idb and .i64. - IDA 7.x range is exclusively 64 bit. - Neither version understands eachother's database.
