Extract Hexrays Context

Or via stdin (for agent integration):

echo '{"ea_address": "0x140001000", "sample_database": "sample_data/binary.i64"}' | python scripts/extract.py

Parameters

Output

Returns a JSON object:

{
  "success": true,
  "ea_address": "0x140001000",
  "pseudocode": "int __fastcall sub_140001000(int a1) { ... }"
}

On error:

{
  "success": false,
  "error": "Hex-Rays decompiler plugin could not be loaded."
}

How it works

1. Creates a temporary IDAPython script bridging idapro and ida_hexrays
2. Launches the script natively using sys.executable via python subprocess
3. The temporary script waits for auto-analysis to stabilize
4. Extracts the decompiled pseudocode of the function at the target address to a temporary file
5. Collects the result, reads the code block, and cleans up temporary files

Error handling

Common errors and solutions:

• "Database not found": Verify the sample_database path exists
• "Invalid EA address format": Ensure the address is valid hex or decimal
• "Hex-Rays decompiler plugin could not be loaded": Check that Hex-Rays is installed and licensed
• "Decompilation failed for this address": The address may not point to valid code
