Introduction

StrikeOut is an plugin for the Hex-Rays Decompiler. It allows you to delete (hide) statements from the AST, thus simplifying the pseudocode output. This is a useful scenario when you are dealing with lots of junk code or code that don't necessarily increase your understanding of the pseudocode.

Features:

• Delete a statement and its children
• Patch a statement (with NOP) and its children (x86 arch. only)
• Persistence
• Undo support
• Patch code (in the disassembly) view with NOPs

Building

StrikeOut uses idax and is built using ida-cmake.

If you don't want to build from sources, then there are release pre-built for MS Windows.

Use cases

• Patching out the disassembly from the pseudocode window

• Cleaning up ugly / 'useless' pseudocode lines

• Manually cleaning opaque predicates from the pseudocode window

• Patching the disassembly code with NOPs

• Moving disassembly lines up or down

Use at your own risk. This feature is experimental and does not properly relocate instructions. It only copies their bytes.
