We see how the value ofESIregister changes from 2 to 9.


Even more than that, thetracercan collect register values for all addresses within the function. This is calledtracethere.
Every instruction gets traced, all interesting register values are recorded. Then, anIDA.idc-script is generated, that adds
comments. So, in theIDAwe’ve learned that themain()function address is0x00401020and we run:


tracer.exe -l:loops_2.exe bpf=loops_2.exe!0x00401020,trace:cc


BPFstands for set breakpoint on function.


As a result, we get theloops_2.exe.idcandloops_2.exe_clear.idcscripts.
