After a long time I went back to the IPython Shell.
I received some comments telling that it had some issues with IDA Pro 5.5 so I started to play with it.
The issue is not related to the IDA Pro version but with IDAPython version installed.
Starting from IDAPython 1.2 there's a "script timeout" value. This is why there's a little msg box telling you to wait because a script is running.
Since the IPython shell script doesn't end, as soon as you type something in the console, IDA blocks, and you can't move the window or anything.
This timeout value can be increased to avoid blocking IDA, but if you keep the shell opened for a long time, the timeout value may be reached.
Since IDAPython 1.4, you can disable this timeout value and work with the shell without problems. [1]
Hi guys, we've been working on a pet project that we want to share. This is the first release (hopefully the first of many if you find it useful) of a gentoo powered system image for android based phones (and maybe other arm compatible devices) with a selection of tools that a pentester might find useful to have in his/her pocket.
Some of the tools that it includes are:
Because it's based on gentoo is pretty easy to customize and add or remove packages from it (soon we will post a tutorial on that).
Some time ago it was announced that milw0rm was not going to be mantained.
Now Offensive Security took over that project and they created a new sucessor.

Since we had created the milw0rm search plugin we've now created the Offensive Security Exploit database search plugin.
You can get the plugin at:
We've created a simple Firefox search plugin.
This plugins lets you search on the entire Open Source Vulnerability Database (http://osvdb.org/) inside all text.
You can get it from Firefox addons site
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/45607/
At this moment the addon is in "experimental" mode. It has already been nominated to public, and hopefully in a few days Mozilla moderators will approve it.
Hope you enjoy it!
We all use IDA Python and it kicks ass!
But sometimes opening scripts all the time by hitting ALT+9 is annoying.
So why don't we have an interactive console with all IDA Python features?
I've created an IDA Python script that creates an interactive console based on IPython.
This console lets you run any IDA Python function but interactively.
Since it's based on IPython you can also take advantage of its cool features, like tab autocompletion, magic commands, command history, aliases, etc (http://ipython.scipy.org/doc/manual/html/interactive/tutorial.html).
