That's never going to change if IDA is all that people teach.

Yes but no begginer is going to buy IDA. This would be much better with Radare2.

There are free versions though..

The free version doesn't have 64 bit support - to be fair though this tutorial doesn't seem to either.

That's too bad because almost everything is 64 bit now, even arm.

They do have x64 ever since they updated the freeware from 5.7 to 7.0..

Amazing! The website still says they don't. https://www.hex-rays.com/products/ida/order.shtml "IDA starter does not support 64 bit files"

If this is the case, they should update that! I will be trying for myself now.

IDA starter sadly is not the same as the free trial version...

It boggles my mind that the paid version is less powerful in some aspect than the free version
