Dependencies

• Ida 8.2+?
• Diaphora

Working directory structure:

/
  pdbdata.sqlite # generated by `scripts/export-pdb-data.py` in ida
  diff.sqlite # generated by diaphora.py cli
  /pdb
    acclient.exe # pdb client (you provide)
    acclient.pdb # pdb (you provide)
    types.idc # generated in ida
    acclient.exe.sqlite # generated from diaphora in ida
  /eor
    acclient.exe # eor client (you provide)
    acclient.exe.sqlite # generated from diaphora in ida
  /scripts  # these scripts
    export-pdb-data.py # run this in pdb client ida
    import-pdb-data.py # run this in eor client ida

Instructions:

• Open ida pdb/acclient.exe (with pdb)

  • export types: File -> Produce File -> Dump typeinfo to IDC file to /pdb/types.idc
  • export a Diaphora database to /pdb/acclient.exe.sqlite with Edit -> Plugins -> Diaphora
  • close ida

• Open ida eor/acclient.exe (no pdb) and export a Diaphora database to eor/acclient.exe.sqlite

  • wait for initial database to build
  • export a Diaphora database to /eor/acclient.exe.sqlite with Edit -> Plugins -> Diaphora
  • close ida (save and pack database)

• run diaphora.py -o /diff.sqlite /pdb/acclient.exe.sqlite /eor/acclient.exe.sqlite

• Open ida pdb/acclient.exe (with pdb)

  • run scripts/export-pdb-data.py with File -> Script file
  • wait for it to finish (should be a few seconds)

• Open ida eor/acclient.exe (no pdb)

  • run scripts/import-pdb-data.py with File -> Script file
  • wait for it to finish (may be a few minutes)
