KIMI-IDA

kimi-ida is a Rust-based plugin for IDA Pro that integrates the Moonshot AI (KIMI) API to provide automated reverse engineering analysis. The plugin decompiles functions using Hex-Rays, sends the pseudocode to the KIMI AI for analysis, and applies the results (renamed variables, comments, function names) back to the IDA database.

Key Features

• Single Function Analysis: Analyze the current function under the cursor (Ctrl+Shift+K)
• Batch Analysis: Analyze all functions in the binary automatically
• Smart Variable Renaming: AI-suggested meaningful variable names
• Automatic Commenting: Adds explanatory comments to complex code sections
• Function Renaming: Suggests descriptive function names based on heuristic analysis

Build Instructions

Prerequisites

1. Rust nightly toolchain (required for unstable features):

rustup default nightly
rustup target add x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
rustup component add rust-src  # Required for build-std

2. IDA SDK (automatically cloned as submodule or set via env var):

git submodule update --init --recursive

or

set IDASDK=path-to-ida-sdk

3. Static Library: Ensure ida.lib is in the project root for linking

Build Commands

# Debug build
cargo build

# Release build (optimized, recommended)
cargo build --release

# The plugin DLL will be at:
target/release/kimi_ida.dll

Installation and Usage

Deploy to IDA Pro

1. Copy target/release/kimi_ida.dll to IDA's plugins directory:

   C:\Program Files\IDA Pro 9.x\plugins\kimi_ida.dll
   

2. Set environment variable before launching IDA:

   set KIMI_API_KEY=sk-kimi-your-api-key-here

Using the Plugin

• Analyze Current Function: Press Ctrl+Shift+K in pseudocode view, or right-click → "KIMI: Analyze function"
• Analyze All Functions: Right-click in pseudocode view → "KIMI: Analyze all functions"
• View Output: Check IDA's Output window for [KIMI] prefixed messages
