gooMBA

gooMBA is a Hex-Rays Decompiler plugin that simplifies mixed Boolean-arithmetic expressions. It handles linear expressions and sign extension, checks simplifications with z3, and uses a fingerprint oracle for non-linear expressions. The action name is goomba:run. Options, including MBA_ORACLE_PATH and the z3 timeout, are in goomba.cfg. Release builds target IDA Pro and IDA Teams 8.2. From IDA 8.3 the plugin is included with those products.
