If anyone has the copy of IDA that the current guide mentions, or know whether it is functionally equivalent with some other product, please speak up.
That's odd..
Anyway, the filename here has "demo" in it, so I'm not sure if this is the full IDA Pro everyone has used in the past. Uwe would probably know since he seems to use/test it a lot. http://www.download.com/IDA-The-Interactive-Disassembler/3000-2218_4-1036151...
If that isn't it, maybe one of these will work: http://www.themel.com/idafree.zip http://www.dirfile.com/ida_pro_freeware_version.htm#
From the IDA Pro page about why they don't host it:
"The distribution of our freeware version was using insane amounts of bandwdith, several hundreds of them are delivered each day. Here is for example an Analog report for Dec 2002 and Jan 2003
20013: 93.98%: 27/Jan/03 23:18: /freefiles/freeware.zip
One of our hopes in distributing this freeware version had been that it would diminish the number "pirate" contacts. Unfortunately, this has not been the case. That is why, after having delivered hundreds of thousands of copies of IDA Freeware, we have decided not to host this file anymore. Note that the IDA Pro freeware license doesn't change : the freeware version remains freeware, and anyone willing to host it is welcome to do so."
