Would it be worth patching build_loaders_list?

Obviously we wouldn't be able to load loaders and procs from the 5.7 and 6.4 leaks since version 7.0+ moved to 64bit, but patching build_loaders_list and the license check for processors would let us load everything built from the SDK at least. It'd still be missing support for popular platforms like ARM and PPC though.

Hello, you mean plugins, right? As I heard from one person, he did a rather interesting trick in the opposite direction. He bought IDA Home version for $365 per year and patched the plugin from the IDA 7.5 demo in order to do not use cloud decompiler.

As for build_loaders_list, I'm not sure how to patch them. If you have more information, you can share it here or make PR to this repository.

Not plugins, but loaders that are used for loading different filetypes and processors for supporting different architectures. This is described as the PE/ELF/Mach-O limitation within the app.

I was thinking of porting this patch from x86 to x64

It was made by taking code from the latest leak at the time, 5.7, and using it to replace the build_loaders_list function in 6.3/6.5 demos. These functions have changed a little over the years but I suspect it wouldn't be too difficult port with a little debugging.

Ok, where can I get loaders for IDA x64 on linux? I guess they made something like white list in demo version

Compile them from idasdk75.zip. It has code to support several older platforms, but lacks code for some of the most popular like arm/ppc/mips. Any open-source projects could be built and ran too.
