To be clear, it is still a plugin for a ~$5000 application. Nonetheless, thanks ...

From the article, it didn't appear that the decompiler was required, just the disassembler.

IDA Pro disassembler (professional edition) is $1129.

So it's somewhat less expensive.

I wish Hopper (hopperapp.com) were more publicized; it's only $89!

If you cant splurge on IDA try radare2 before Hopper:

Then in a couple weeks donate $89 saved to the radare2 efforts.

What's the Windows status there? I have looked at their web page many times and it's just confusing.

The main description page says Mac only, a blog post from long ago says Windows is available (with some restrictions).

Version 2 of Hopper had a Windows version available, but with later versions it has been discontinued: https://twitter.com/bSr43/status/672185178236825601

It gets expensive when you want all the bells and whistles, but yes the base model is a little north of a grand.

Thanks for the link to Hopper, I know what i'll be doing this afternoon...

If you are a security professional it is not that much.

You only need the IDA Pro Starter Edition (589 USD, 32-bit files only) or the regular IDA Pro version for a single architecture (1129 USD). Even so, IDA comes with decades of RE experience baked into its heuristics and analysis features. It's quirky, yes, but as a professional tool it's also worth the money.
