Pone v0.2 doesn't work with IDA 6.95

[Jello]

In IDA 6.95, whether using 32-bit or 64-bit IDA the Ponce plugin fails to do anything and the Symbolic options are grayed out. Enabling Ponce tracing will pop up at a message about an instruction decoding error at an invalid address.

The console output on 64-bit IDA 6.95 is:

[+] Ponce plugin version: 0.1.20161027.deceab6 running!

[+] Reanalizyng instruction at 0x1667cb00000000 [!] Dissasembling error at 0x1667cb00000000 Opcodes:ff ff ff Enabling step tracing Command "JumpAsk" failed Command "JumpAsk" failed Disabling step tracing [+] Reanalizyng instruction at 0x1667cb00000000 [!] Dissasembling error at 0x1667cb00000000 Opcodes:ff ff Enabling step tracing Disabling step tracing [+] Reanalizyng instruction at 0x1667cb00000000 [!] Dissasembling error at 0x1667cb00000000 Opcodes:ff ff Enabling step tracing

And the console output on 32-bit IDA 6.95 is:

Please help.

Hi,

Could you give us more information about how are you running the analyzed binaries?

Is this address correct? 0x1667cb00000000

[Jello]

Oh I didn't realize the binary needed to be run. So there needs to be an active debugger connection in order to use Ponce, even if I'm just using the symbolic execution?

The 0x1667cb00000000 address doesn't exist within the binary.

Needing to attach the debugger was the issue, closing.
