Careful, I don't know about you but anytime I have a thought that ends with "let me just open IDA real quick" nobody sees me for 2-3 weeks minimum.

I don't know what IDA is, but you get an upvote, because I have had this exact experience so many times... so many times.

If I could have a dollar for everytime I put my head to a random problem and came out 3 months later... I'd have more than fifty dollars.

IDA is the industry-standard binary disassembly tool. Expensive, so used over (dramatically) cheaper competitors like Hopper mainly by people whose company pays for a license :D

Or people who have ...disassembled the locked down original?

I got to play with some hackmes in a hackathon and my teammates got frustrated by the crippled IDA demo version that they just downloaded a pirate version.

Amusingly the readme for the pirate version said "I cracked it with IDA Pro" or something along those lines.

This is why Pandora's Key was a fruitless business endeavor

I'm very sad that Hopper has been discontinued on Windows, but radare2 has promise.
