deReferencing is an IDA Pro plugin that implements new registers and stack views. Adds dereferenced pointers, colors and other useful information, similar to some GDB plugins (e.g: PEDA, GEF, pwndbg, etc).

Supports following architectures: x86, x86-64, ARM, ARM64, MIPS32 and MIPS64

Requirements

• IDA-Pro >= 7.1

Install

Just drop the dereferencing.py file and the dereferencing folder into IDA’s plugin directory.

To install just for the current user, copy the files into one of these directories:

OS	Plugin path
Linux/macOS	~/.idapro/plugins
Windows	%AppData%\Hex-Rays\IDA Pro\plugins

Usage

Both views can be opened from the menu Debugger -> Debugger Windows or by shortcuts:

• deREferencing – Registers (Alt-Shift-D)
• deREferencing – Stack (Alt-Shift-E)

You also can save the desktop layout using the Windows -> Save desktop option, so that the plugin starts automatically in other debugging sessions.

Configuration

Config options can be modified vía deferencing/config.py file.
