An IDA Python plugin to extract information from string constants. The current version of the plugin is able to:
Display functions to source files relationships (in a tree and in a plain list, a chooser in IDA language).
Display guessed function names for functions.
Rename functions according to the source code file their belong + address (for example, memory_mgmt_0x401050).
Rename functions according to the guessed function name.
Running the plugin
When the Python script is executed from within IDA it builds a list of ASCII and Unicode strings found by IDA and then applies a series of regular expressions to extract source code filenames, directories and candidate function names. Then, it shows 3 tabs with information:
Candidate function names: The function names guessed from the referenced string constants. Some basic and rudimentary false positive detection is implemented and this data is available in the column "FP?" ("False Positive?").
If available, it uses NLTK to detect the appropriate words that can be function name candidates (i.e., nouns, verbs and names).
Source code tree: Just a tree widget showing file names and, inside each one, the functions or references to the source file.
Source code files: A list (or chooser in the IDA's language) with source code filenames to function addresses and names.
