When I run an exe in IDA how could I log which functions were called into a text file?

log.txt:
call func1
call func2
call func1
call func1

Not worried about indirect calls. This is for differential analysis, to find where execution paths deviated, without manual work. I know it won't be perfect because of the scheduling, but better than tracing by hand.

Advanced option would be to limit to given thread.

Closest answer is different: How to identify when a function is being called using IDA?

  • Hi and welcome to RE.SE. You may be looking for something like lighthouse, if I understand you correctly. Possibly tenet by the same author is also or even a better match.

  • If you just want to trace certain files and don't need any of the debugger functions of IDA you could alternatively use frida respectively frida-trace. It is Python based and supports a lot of platforms.

  • I found it, built in tracing of functions, just needed to enable after main func, not the fastest but still usable, thank you! Post it as an answer and I accept it. cheer
