Version 7.5.201028 Windows x64 (64-bit address size)

7.6 minimum required?

[VoidSec]

It was tested starting from IDA 7.6 but shouldn't be mandatory. Which version of python you're on?

[neobenedict]

3.8.3

I'll try a later version of IDA in a few days.

Same issue in IDA 7.5 and Python 3.9.4

[VoidSec]

would you mind sharing the driver causing the error?

[zeze-zeze]

Sure, it is not rare to find such driver. NVSWCFilter64.zip

[VoidSec]

Tested on IDA 7.6 on Python 3.10.4, fixed in https://github.com/VoidSec/DriverBuddyReloaded/releases/tag/1.6

[rjt-gupta]

Sorry to remention, but Im facing this on latest release. However, I'm on IDA v7.2. Any resolution for this?

[VoidSec]

@rjt-gupta would you mind sharing the driver causing the error? You can send me an email at voidsec[at]voidsec.com if you'd like to keep it private.

[HongThatCong]

compiled_binpat_vec_t struct/class still did not existed in IDA SDK <= 7.5

[VoidSec]

@HongThatCong thank you very much for pointing that out! I'll update the readme in order to reflect that requirement

[rjt-gupta]

@HongThatCong @VoidSec Thanks for the clarification. Unfortunately, I can't share the driver since its proprietary. But, please let me know if there is a workaround for this issue for IDA < v7.5

[HongThatCong]

Yes, @VoidSec can rewrite the binary search function with code in picture above and this picture: If IDA <= 7.5 uses idaapi.find_binary function else uses idaapi_binsearch function. Best regards, TQN

[rjt-gupta]

@VoidSec Do you plan to fix this anytime soon?

[VoidSec]

I'll probably take some time next week to patch some of these bugs.
