The disassembler and decompiler now support nanoMIPS instructions. 2. Technical Enhancements & Tooling Headless Processing ( idalib )
The landscape of binary analysis was permanently altered on , with the release of IDA Pro 9.0.240925 . As the industry-standard disassembler and decompiler, this version represents the biggest paradigm shift in the tool's history—not merely a collection of incremental bug fixes, but a complete reimagining of how reverse engineers interact with modern software.

Improved heuristics for tracking Pointer Authentication Codes (PAC) on Apple Silicon and ARMv8.3+ binaries. IDA Pro 9.0.240925
As of this build, the following issues have been identified:
IDA Pro 9.0.240925 is available for Windows, Linux, and macOS. The specific version number for the macOS download is , with a file size of approximately 938 MB. Users with an active subscription can download the version from the My Hex-Rays customer portal. However, it's important to note that commercial use of pirated copies is legally prohibited ; such copies should only be used for personal study and research.
Testing was performed on a standard RE workstation (AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, 64GB RAM, NVMe SSD).

Modern hardware architectures require agile analysis tools. Version 9.0.240925 brings massive upgrades to RISC-V, ARM, and x86 architectures. RISC-V Vector Extensions (RVV)
For over three decades, (Interactive Disassembler) has been the gold standard for binary analysis, reverse engineering, and vulnerability research. Developed by Hex-Rays SA, it has evolved from a simple disassembler into a comprehensive, scriptable, and extensible reverse engineering platform.
A tool for streamlining vulnerability research. Version 9.0.240925 is the baseline compatible version for Rhabdomancer v0.2.4 .
IDA 9.0 output (with Lumina)
The platform has evolved from a manual disassembler into a full-fledged binary analysis automation engine. With the foundation laid in 9.0, future versions (such as IDA 9.2, released in September 2025) have already built upon this with Golang improvements and further UI enhancements. But for those looking to jump in now, IDA Pro 9.0.240925 is the definitive starting point.
For existing perpetual license holders with active support, the upgrade to IDA 9.0 is included at no cost until the end of their support period.
Hex-Rays has introduced user-experience refinements that significantly reduce cognitive friction during long analysis sessions. Dark Mode and Theme Engine
For decades, security analysts had to switch between two distinct programs depending on the target file: ida for 32-bit binaries and ida64 for 64-bit binaries. The introduction of completely removes this separation. With the foundation laid in 9.0
