Findcrypt2 (http://www.hexblog.com/ida_pro/files/findcrypt2.zip) is an IDA Pro plug-in that searches for cryptographic constants used by many different algorithms in memory. To use the plugin, download it, and copy theĀ findcrypt.plw file into the IDA plugins folder. Now, when you load the binary, the plugin is automatically run, or you can manually invoke it by selecting Edit | Plugins | Find crypt v2. The results of the plugin are displayed in the output window:

The FindCrypt2 plugin can also be run when in the debugging mode. FindCrypt2 works well if you are using IDA 6.x or a lower version; at the time of writing this book, it did not seem to work with IDA 7.x version (possible due to changes in the IDA 7.x API).
