IDA cybersecurity software provider Hex-Rays acquired
Hopefully this works out for Hex-Rays, allowing them to invest more into developing IDA and expanding their low-cost product offerings. The general sentiment I have seen among people doing SRE is that IDA is rapidly losing market share to Ghidra. While it excels in some areas, the licenses are pricy even for tech employers, and entirely out of reach for students or colleges. It&#x27;s hard to convince an employer to fork out cash for IDA licenses when new employees are asking to use Ghidra, because that&#x27;s what they use at home and at school.
