    Olly or IDA?

    Just a quick question, is there any reason to prefer OllyDBG over IDA? The reason for asking is that I run Win7x64 with IDA at the moment and want to know if it is worth the effort to make the system dual boot (x86/x64), so I can run OllyDBG?

    Thanks

    Cool
    IDA and OLLYDBG are different.

    OllyDBG mostly use for Win apps. And it is debugger.

    IDA more professional tool. Allow disasm wide range of binaries. And it is interactive disassembler.


    So, IDA more complicated, but much better than Olly

    Nope, I'm currently running IDA and was wondering if OllyDBG has something more to offer over IDA. Since OllyDBG is only 32-bit at this moment, I will have to install Win7x86 to try it and I really hate installing windows...

    How does one address memory on a 23bit system?

    Yes it's complicated, but that is every tool you're not familiar with. Thanks.

    I've reread my original question and your answer and must conclude the following: "Yes sir you were way on that"...

    Olly works just fine for hacking as does another one called Immunity debugger (my fav) but IDA has some graphs in the GUI that better help you navigate the program

    You know, ia64 systems usually have x86 emulation going on. I'm on w7x64 and olly runs just fine as well as other 32b apps. As for IDA vs olly, I use both for different jobs. What would you build your house with if you had to choose between a hammer and a saw?

    I agree with h3X,
    They are both used for different jobs.

    I like to use IDA to search, and Olly to edit,
    But thats just me. :P
