sigmake -n"my_lib" my_lib.obj my_lib.sig
The Linux version is the workhorse for server-side automation. IDA Pro 91250226 for Linux focuses on: sigmake -n"my_lib" my_lib
For security teams processing thousands of samples, the updated idat utility is a game-changer. Example command:
./idat -B -opneumatic -A -S"analyze.py" malicious.bin
This will analyze malicious.bin in the background (-B), use the Pneumatic processor module, execute the analyze.py script, and then exit. Memory usage has been reduced by 15% in this UPD.
