Failed to disasemble the given file about kam1n0-community HOT 9 CLOSED

I think there are two possibilities. One is that your IDAPython setting is 2.x. The disassemble python script of Kam1n0 only support Python 3. The other is that your IDAPython is not working, It seems the IDAPython 3 in IDA Pro works only with Python.org distribution and the version should be 3.7.x. If you use Anaconda distribution, IDAPython wouldn't work.

Hi,
We have changed the IDAPython setting to 3 and it is currently pointing to python3.7 of Python.org distribution. However, we are facing the same issue.
Regarding the IDAPlugin, we have unzipped the attached Kam1n0-IDAPlugin.tar.xz and moved the contents of ida-plugin directory (Kam1n0 directory and Kam1n0.py) to path_to_ida_pro/plugins/ directory. Is this right procedure to do?
How do we ensure if ida-plugin is successfully installed?

Hi,

I am also facing the same issue while indexing the files. This walk-through asks to copy the link address. Should this be pasted somewhere? Does this have something to do with the indexing step?

@suryadesu @svkeerthy For me to see the problem of fail to disassemble, please find the script ExtractBinaryViaIDA.py from the Kam1n0 source code folder, and put an executable such as a.dll to the path. Then, run the command:
idat64 -A -SExtractBinaryViaIDA.py -Llog.txt a.dll in that path. And show me the content of log.txt.

The procedure is correct. If you use windows, it is better to build the installer using Kam1n0-Community/kam1n0-builds/windows/build-installers.bat and install the plugin with it.
If IDA Pro Plugin is correctly installed, when you launch IDA Pro and disassemble a file, you will see the following information in the output window:
Kam1n0: initializing Kam1n0 IDA-pro plugin ...
Kam1n0: Completed initialization.

@svkeerthy This is not relevant. Kam1n0 Server does not require Kam1n0 IDA Pro Plugin to be installed.

Hi @MilesQLi
This is the log.txt generated while executing idat64 -A -SExtractBinaryViaIDA.py -Llog.txt helloworld in the path.
It states an attribute error in idaapi module.
Do let us know what's the issue and how to fix it.
Thanks

@suryadesu The reason is that your Kam1n0 is not upda-to-date. The code of ExtractBinaryViaIDA.py in the up-to-date version is not idaapi.autoWait() but idaapi.auto_wait().

Hi @MilesQLi ,
Thanks for the reply. Seems like the latest build (Kam1n0 v2.1) from the release page doesn't reflect the changes. Can the latest binaries be found somewhere else? Or how can we include the changes in the current version we have?
Thanks

Yes, that release was not updated. We will update it later. Now, you can simply compile the project by yourself to update the code. The procedure is given in README.md. You need to install Maven. After you download the up-to-date code, simply running the following commands would compile the jars of Kam1n0 Server:

cd /kam1n0/kam1n0
mvn -DskipTests clean package
mvn -DskipTests package

This gives you the jar files in kam1n0\build-bins .

To update Kam1n0 IDA Pro Plugin, you just need to overwrite the Kam1n0 plugin files in path_to_ida_pro/plugins/ with the current version which you can find in Kam1n0-Community/kam1n0-clients/ida-plugin/ .

Hi @MilesQLi
Building from the source solved the issues.
Thanks
