Static reverse-engineering in IDA can often be problematic. Certain values are calculated at run time, which makes it difficult to understand what a certain basic block is doing.

DDR is using instrumentation techniques to resolve dynamic values at runtime from the sample. For the 1.0 release, we have fixed a couple of bugs, ported it to the latest IDA version, added multiple new features, plus a new installer script that automatically resolves all dependencies.
