IDA-KallsymsSymbolRenamer
IDA-KallsymsSymbolRenamer is a Python script for the IDA Pro disassembler that automates the process of renaming symbols based on Android kernel kallsyms
files. This script enhances the analysis of kernel binaries by aligning symbols in IDA with those found in the kallsyms
symbol table, making reverse engineering tasks more intuitive and efficient.
Features
- Automatic Symbol Renaming: Parses
kallsyms
files to rename symbols within IDA Pro, improving the readability and navigability of disassembled code. - Base Address Calculation: Determines the base address using the
_text
symbol from thekallsyms
file, ensuring that symbol addresses are correctly offset in the IDA database. - User-friendly File Selection: Provides a file selection dialog to easily choose the
kallsyms
file without worrying about file extensions.
Prerequisites
- IDA Pro with IDAPython plugin installed.
Usage
- Ensure your IDA Pro environment is set up and the target kernel binary is loaded.
- Run
IDA-KallsymsSymbolRenamer.py
within IDA's Python console or through the File -> Script file menu. - When prompted, select your
kallsyms
file. The script will then process the file and rename symbols accordingly.
