# HexRaysPyTools > IDAPython plugin for IDA Pro's Hex-Rays decompiler that helps rebuild structures and classes from pseudocode. Its structure builder collects the fields a variable accesses within one function or, with deep scan, across the functions it is passed to, marks virtual tables, resolves conflicting fields and finalizes a C declaration applied to every scanned variable; a Classes view edits classes and their virtual functions, and a graph shows how local types relate. Pseudocode helpers recast and rename across assignments and calls, propagate names, rewrite out-of-bounds pointers as CONTAINING_RECORD for a containing structure, edit function signatures, rename functions from assert strings and untangle if statements. - Type: Tool - Targets: Binary - Category: Native analysis tools - Relationship: Foundation tool - Sources reviewed: 2026-10-20 - Added to the catalog: 2026-11-02 - Original resource: - Primary source: - Catalog page: - Record JSON: - Chinese version: [简体中文](https://awesomerea.org/zh/resources/hexrayspytools/index.md) ## Requirements & limits - No commits since 2020-02-15 and no releases; the tags ida_6_8 and ida_7_2 mark older code. The README states support for IDA Pro 7.x with Python 2 or 3 and says nothing about later IDA releases; it notes that IDA 7.4 added an official implementation of its structure cross-references (Shift+X), describes Guessing Allocation as a very raw feature and marks its API as under construction. - Needs IDA Pro with the Hex-Rays decompiler. Installation copies HexRaysPyTools.py and the HexRaysPyTools directory into IDA's plugins folder; settings live in IDADIR\cfg\HexRaysPyTools.cfg, and by default the cross-references collected during decompilation are stored in the database (store_xrefs). It works on the analyst's own IDA databases and type libraries. - The repository has no license file and GitHub detects no license, so it grants no explicit reuse terms. ## Primary sources 1. 2. 3. 4. ## More in Native binaries - [CAPE Sandbox (CAPEv2)](https://awesomerea.org/resources/capev2/index.md) · Tool - [LuaDec](https://awesomerea.org/resources/luadec/index.md) · Tool - [xpcspy](https://awesomerea.org/resources/xpcspy/index.md) · Tool - [de4py](https://awesomerea.org/resources/de4py/index.md) · Tool - [Dwarf](https://awesomerea.org/resources/dwarf-debugger/index.md) · Tool - [bddisasm](https://awesomerea.org/resources/bddisasm/index.md) · Tool ## About this entry The description was reviewed against primary sources.
