Recently, IDA 5.2 has been released, bearing as usual a lot of cool features and bugfixes. One of the most interesting additions was the so-called scriptable debugger. Today, I had a bit of free time, and decided to experiment with that.

In a very limited time, I coded a simple API monitor to spy over file-write operations on executable files (for example done by some malware). For the curious ones, I have uploaded the script to my repository: the code is just an experiment and is not all that useful - but it shows anyway how easy it is to use the new IDC commands.
