The PLX file extension is associated with IDA, also known as the Interactive Disassembler, a multiprocessor disassembler and debugger from Hex-Rays. IDA is available for Microsoft Windows, Linux and macOS.
A PLX file is a 32-bit plugin used by the Linux version of IDA. It is one of several platform- and architecture-specific plugin formats used by IDA and is loaded from the software's plugins directory.
A PLX file is not normally opened as a standalone document. Install or copy it to the plugins directory of a compatible Linux installation of IDA, then start IDA. The plugin must match the IDA version and the platform for which it was built.
A PLX file is a Linux plugin and generally cannot be loaded by the Microsoft Windows version of IDA. A Windows-compatible build of the plugin is required on Windows.
PLX files are compiled IDA plugins, so they do not have a meaningful document conversion. To use the plugin on another platform or with a different plugin format, its source code must normally be rebuilt with the appropriate IDA SDK and target settings.
